AppServ contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to retrieve arbitrary files. The issue is due to the 'appserv/main.php' script not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'appserv_root' variable. This may allow an attacker to include a file from a remote host and execute arbitrary commands leading to a loss of integrity.
