DESCRIPTION:
John Leitch has discovered a vulnerability in bitweaver, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

Input passed to the "style" parameter in wiki/rankings.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 and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.7. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
John Leitch
