Description

dotProject contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to /modules/projects/gantt.php not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'dPconfig[root_dir]' variable. This may allow an attacker to include a file from a remote host that contains arbitrary commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script.
