Input passed to the "LANG_CODE" parameter in url/app/common.inc.php, codelib/cfg/common.inc.php, and staff/app/common.inc.php is not properly sanitised before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes. Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled and "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.01. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
