VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION:
==========================
The scripts "/includes/base_files.php" and "/dashboard.php" are prone to a local file-include vulnerability because 
they fail to properly sanitize user-supplied input in the "act" parameter.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to obtain potentially sensitive information and execute arbitrary local 
scripts in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the 
underlying computer; other attacks are also possible.


PoC Exploit:
============
/index.php?act=../../../../../../etc/passwd%00
/dashboard.php?act=../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00
