Description:
BeyazKurt has discovered a vulnerability in php Help Agent, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "content" parameter in include/head_chat.inc.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. Successful exploitation from external resources (FTP servers) requires that "allow_url_fopen" and "allow_url_include" are enabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1 Full. Other versions may also be affected.
