HTTP: Beautifier Core.PHP Remote File Inclusion

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote file inclusion vulnerability against Beautifier. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a target to open a malicious URL link. A successful attack can result in arbitrary code execution and loss of sensitive information.

Extended Description

Beautifier is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to include an arbitrary remote file containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible. This issue affects Beautifier 0.1; other versions may also be vulnerable.
