Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in PHP-Nuke allowing malicious users to upload and execute arbitrary files.
The vulnerability is caused due to the "mailattach.php" script in the WebMail part not verifying path information in the "userfile_name" parameter and the "modules.php" script allowing people to supply arbitrary files in the "file" parameter.
These two problems can combined be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
Example:
1) Upload a file where the "userfile_name" parameter is set to "../../AvantGo/language/evil.php".
2) Execute it using:
/modules.php?name=AvantGo&file=language/evil
The vulnerability has been reported to affect PHP-Nuke on the Windows platform only.
