Description:
HouSSaMix has discovered a vulnerability in Connectix Boards, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "template_path" parameter in templates/Official/part_userprofile.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.
