Description: ThE TiGeR has discovered some vulnerabilities in Focus/SIS, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "FocusPath" parameter in modules/Discipline/CategoryBreakdownTime.php and modules/Discipline/StudentFieldBreakdown.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in Focus/SIS version 1.0.
Solution: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
