Description:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability in FlatNuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "id" parameter in index.php isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
This can reportedly further be exploited to disclose encrypted user credentials and access the administration section where arbitrary PHP files can be edited.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.5.6. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
Provided and/or discovered by:
