tag_summary = "phpWebThings is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because
  it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

  An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to view files and execute
  local scripts in the context of the webserver process, which may aid
  in further attacks.

  phpWebThings 1.5.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be
  affected.";
