Security assessment found Cryptographp PHP script with Local File Inclusion and HTTP Response Splitting vulnerabilitie

Code
`During a security assessment, I’ve found that my target was using Cryptographp which is a PHP script used for generate « captchas ».  
  
It was easily noticeable when I’ve found the following URL:  
  
http://WWWW/cryptographp.inc.php?cfg=XX&sn=YYYY&ZZZZ  
  
  
  
So I've decided to take a look at the source code and I’ve found 2 vulnerabilities.  
  
The first one has already been disclosed but hasn’t been corrected. This vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts on the host server by causing cryptographp.inc.php to include any arbitrary file existent in the same directory.  
  
Here is the vulnerable source code:  
  
if (is_file($_GET['cfg']) and dirname($_GET['cfg'])=='.' )  
  
$_SESSION['configfile']=$_GET['cfg'];  
  
else   
  
$_SESSION['configfile']="cryptographp.cfg.php";  
  
include($_SESSION['configfile']);   
  
  
  
The second vulnerability can be easily found but seems not to be revealed on Internet or on an exploit database. It is an HTTP Response Splitting which can be used to perform cross-site scripting attacks, cross-user defacement, web cache poisoning, and similar exploits.  
  
Here is the vulnerable source code:   
  
<?php  
  
  
  
Header("Location: cryptographp.inc.php?cfg=".$_GET['cfg']."&sn=".session_name()."&".SID);  
  
?>  
  
  
  
For the mitigation of this two vulnerabilities, one simple rule:  
  
Input Validation
