Description:
Kacper has discovered some vulnerabilities in METAjour, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "system_path" parameter in multiple scripts is not properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Some of the affected scripts have been fixed in version 2.1.1.
Set "register_globals" to "Off" for this application (e.g. with a .htaccess file).
Provided and/or discovered by:
Kacper
