phpwebthings <= 1.5.2

A vulnerability exists in phpwebthings version 1.5.2 and earlier which allows an attacker to include arbitrary files on the server. This is due to the application not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'module' parameter in the 'help' script. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to include arbitrary files from the web server, such as the web server's /etc/passwd file, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized and that 'magic_quotes_gpc' is enabled.
