TITLE:
SPiD scan_lang_insert.php File Inclusion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19033

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19033/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
SPiD 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5352/

DESCRIPTION:
Nemesis Security Audit Group has discovered a vulnerability in SPiD,
which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially
sensitive information.

Input passed to the "lang" parameter in scan_lang_insert.php isn't
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.3.1 and affects
only when used on the Windows platform. Prior versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
