Mambo Open Source Tar.PHP Remote File Include Vulnerability

It is reported that Mambo Open Source is affected by a remote PHP file include vulnerability. This issue is due in part to the application failing to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'Tar.php' script.

Remote attackers could potentially exploit this issue to include a remote malicious PHP script, which will be executed in the context of the Web server hosting the vulnerable software.

This issue reportedly affects Mambo Open Source version 4.5.2 and earlier.
