Description

ActionApps contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the discussion.php3 script not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'GLOBALS[AA_INC_PATH]' 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.
