Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Exero CMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
Input passed to the "theme" parameter in custompage.php, errors/404.php, members/memberslist.php, members/profile.php, news/fullview.php, news/index.php, nopermission.php, usercp/avatar.php, and usercp/editpassword.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes. All scripts are located in the "themes/Default" directory.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.
Solution:
Update to version 1.0.1.1.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by the vendor.
