This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote file inclusion vulnerability against Open Educational System. 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.
Open Educational System is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these issues 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. Version 0.1 beta is vulnerable to these issues.
