source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/46366/info Smarty Template Engine is prone to a remote PHP code-injection vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate a compromise of the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.
