Description:
JeiAr has reported some vulnerabilities in Aardvark Topsites PHP, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose information and possibly manipulate SQL queries.

Various system information can be disclosed via "phpinfo()" by requesting "/sources/info.php".

Path information can be disclosed by supplying invalid or null values to the "type" variable when viewing the graph feature.
