MODx Local File Include Vulnerability

MODx is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to execute local script code in the context of the application. This may allow the attacker to access sensitive information that may aid in further attacks.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized.
