Gallery upgrade/index.php and install/index.php file include
| gallery-multiple-index-file-include (25129) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Gallery could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files. If magic_quotes_gpc is set to 'off' and register_globals is set to 'on', a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the upgrade/index.php script or the install/index.php script using the 'stepOrder[]' parameter to specify a malicious PHP file from a remote system, which would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
Note: This file include vulnerability can be further exploited to include PHP files in the g2data/plugins_data/modules/watermark directory.
Consequences:
Gain Access
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of Gallery (2.0.4 or later), available from the Gallery Web site. See References.
