Description:
cOndemned has discovered a vulnerability in TinyCMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "config[template]" parameter in modules/ZZ_Templater/templater.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
