bd0rk has discovered a vulnerability in the Addressbook module for PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "module_name" parameter in modules/Addressbook/addressbook.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled, "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, and that the system is running PHP 5.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
