Secunia advisory SA19246:

Paul Craig has discovered a vulnerability in Horde, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information. Input passed to the "url" parameter in "services/go.php" isn't properly verified, before it is used in a "readfile()" call. This can be exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files via e.g. the "php://" protocol wrapper.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 3.0.9 and has also been reported in prior versions.

Provided and/or discovered by: Paul Craig, Security-Assessment.com.
