Description:
Nemesis Security Audit Group has discovered a vulnerability in Website Generator, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.

Input passed to the "formname" parameter in process3.php isn't properly sanitised before being used to create files. This can be exploited by administrative users to create form files with the ".php" extension that contains PHP code.

Example:
formname=file.php%00

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
