ThE dE@Th has discovered several vulnerabilities in Kaqoo Auction Software Free Edition, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "install_root" parameter in several scripts is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.

The affected scripts are: categories.inc.php, core/categories.inc.php, core/function.inc.php, core/login.inc.php, core/rdal_object.inc.php, core/request.inc.php, core/support.inc.php, design/form.inc.php, display/activate.inc.php, display/add_bid.inc.php, display/admin_balance.inc.php, display/balance.inc.php, display/buynow.inc.php, display/context_menu.inc.php, display/featured.inc.php, display/fees_info.inc.php, display/install_complete.inc.php, display/item_edit.inc.php, display/item/edit_item.inc.php, display/item/item_info.inc.php, display/item/new_item.inc.php, display/item/preview.inc.php, display/item_repost.inc.php, display/item/save.inc.php, display/items_filter.inc.php, display/leave_feedback.inc.php, display/member.inc.php, display/my_info.inc.php, display/register.inc.php, display/register_success.inc.php, display/search.inc.php, display/user_auctions.inc.php, display/user_feedback.inc.php, display/user.inc.php, display/user_info.inc.php, interfaces.inc.php, left_menu.inc.php, login.inc.php, and processor.inc.php. All scripts are located in the "include/" directory.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
