~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
agorum core Pro is a module based Document Management System. It allows
the customer to buy only required modules and can be extended when
needed.
Due to the possibility to access these modules using the correct URL,
the DMS is vulnerable to insecure direct object reference, causing
unauthorized access to functions and content.
