Description

AlienVault 4.6.1 and below is susceptible to an authenticated SQL injection attack against
newpolicyform.php, using the 'insertinto' parameter. This module exploits the vulnerability
to read an arbitrary file from the file system. Any authenticated user is able to exploit
this, as administrator privileges are not required.
