Description:
GregStar has discovered two vulnerabilities in PHP Upload Center, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "footerpage" parameter in activate.php when "language" is set to "conf" is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.
2) Input passed to the "language" parameter in activate.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
Successful exploitation with other file extensions than ".php" requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.0. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
