Description:
athos has discovered a vulnerability in XOOPS, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "mydirname" parameter in xoops_lib/modules/protector/oninstall.php, xoops_lib/modules/protector/onupdate.php, xoops_lib/modules/protector/notification.php, and xoops_lib/modules/protector/onuninstall.php is not properly sanitised before being used in an "eval()" statement. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
Note: The XOOPS installation also incorrectly sets the "XOOPS_TRUST_PATH" configuration variable to a folder inside the web root.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.3.2b. Other versions may also be affected.
