Tries to read a local file with OCS Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by remote file include issues. Description : The remote host is using Open Conference System, a PHP application for managing scholarly conference web sites. The version of Open Conference System installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'fullpath' parameter before using it to include PHP code in the 'include/theme.inc.php' and 'footer.inc.php' scripts. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these issues to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the rights of the web server user id.
