SOFTWARE: Addressbook 1.x (module for PHP-Nuke) - http://secunia.com/product/13832/
DESCRIPTION: bd0rk has discovered a vulnerability in the Addressbook module for PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
Input passed to the "module_name" parameter in modules/Addressbook/addressbook.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled, "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, and that the system is running PHP5. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
