PhreeBooks is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities and multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit the local file-include vulnerabilities using directory-traversal strings to view files and execute local scripts in the context of the webserver process other attacks are also possible. The attacker may leverage the HTML-injection issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie- based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. PhreeBooks 2.0 is vulnerable other versions may also be affected.
