XOOPS Local File Include Vulnerabilities

XOOPS is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain potentially sensitive information and to execute arbitrary local scripts in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the computer; other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

To mitigate these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and sanitization techniques to prevent user-supplied input from being included in file paths or executed as code.
