Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Advanced Poll allowing malicious people to execute arbitrary code.

1) The "id", "template_set", and "action" parameters are not properly verified before being used in an "eval()" function call. This allows malicious people to supply arbitrary PHP code like "";[CODE]//".

2) The scripts "booth.php", "png.php", "poll_ssi.php", and "popup.php" fail to verify the "include_path" parameter allowing malicious people to include "include/config.inc.php" and "include/class_poll.php" from local and remote resources.

3) The include file "admin/common.inc.php" fails to verify the "base_path" parameter allowing malicious people to include "lang/english.php" from local and remote resources. This may be exploited through multiple scritps in "/admin".

4) The script "misc/info.php" calls "phpinfo()", which returns many system details.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0.2. Prior versions may also be affected.
