Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a remote file include flaw.

Description

There is a version of Form Mail Script, a PHP script by Ralf Stadtaus, installed on the remote host that suffers from a remote file include vulnerability involving the 'script_root' parameter of the 'inc/formmail.inc.php' script. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts if PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled.
