  - The application fails to properly check whether the user has administrator privileges within the
  following scripts: /modules/Administration/ImportCustomFieldStructure.php,
  /modules/Administration/UpgradeWizard_commit.php, /modules/Connectors/controller.php ('RunTest'
  action)

  - The 'override_value_to_string_recursive2()' function is being used to save an array into a
  configuration file with a .php extension. However, this function does not properly escape key
  names, and this can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.

  - User input passed through the 'type_module' request parameter isn't properly sanitized before
  being used to instantiate a new DashletRssFeedTitle object, and this could be exploited to carry
  out certain attacks because of the DashletRssFeedTitle::readFeed() method (user input passed
  directly to the 'fopen()' function).");
