A quick search of the databases didn't show anything about this particular problem though the principle is well recognised as an issue:
 
FormHandler.cgi available from http://www.cgi-perl.com/programs/FormHandler
uses hard coded physical paths for templates etc so it's possible to get sensitive files like /etc/passwd by modifying a site's form and submitting it.
