WEBInsta Mailing List Manager <= 1.3e (initdb.php) Remote File Include Exploit

The vulnerable code snippet does not stop post requests to the absolute_path variable, allowing an attacker to inject malicious code into the application. An attacker can use a r57shell with a twist to exploit this vulnerability.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent malicious code from being injected into the application.

}

include($absolute_path.'inc/adodbt/db.inc');
