Description:
inphex has discovered a vulnerability in PHPizabi, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "writeLogEntry()" function in system/v_cron_proc.php. This can be exploited to write arbitrary data to arbitrary files via the CONF[CRON_LOGFILE] and CONF[LOCALE_LONG_DATE_TIME] parameters.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary PHP code, but requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.848b C1 HFP3 SF1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Set "register_globals" to Off.
Restrict access to the the system/v_cron_proc.php script (e.g. via ".htaccess").
