Description:
Securitysos Inc. has reported a vulnerability in PHPmyGallery, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "admindir" parameter in "common-tpl-vars.php" isn't 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 vulnerability has been reported in version 1.5 beta and prior (latest affected stable version is 0.995).
Solution:
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 1.5 by restricting access to the "_conf/_php-core" directory via a ".htaccess file". It is however still possible to exploit the vulnerability on systems where ".htaccess" files are not supported.
Provided and/or discovered by:
