X7 Chat help_file Parameter Local File Include Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Tries to read a local file using X7 Chat Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a local file include issue. Description : The remote host is running X7 Chat, a web-based chat program written in PHP. The version of X7 Chat installed on the remote host fails to properly sanitize input to the 'help_file' parameter of the 'help/index.php' script before using it in a PHP 'include_once()' function. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the rights of the web server user id.
