#2010-003 Free Simple CMS path sanitization errors

Description:

Free Simple CMS, an open source content management system, suffers
from
remote file inclusion vulnerabilities.

Insufficient path sanitization on several query string parameters
leads to
inclusion of arbitrary files from remote sources, this could be
exploited to
execute arbitrary command or code.

The vulnerable URLs are similar to the one referenced in a previously

the
software (see References). It has been discovered that 'body',
'footer',
'header', 'menu_left', 'menu_right' are also vulnerable to remote
file
inclusion.
