HAMweather template.php code execution
| hamweather-template-code-execution (29304) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
HAMweather could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code caused by a vulnerability in the eval function calls. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to the template.php script in the do_parse_code() function to inject a malicious code file from a remote system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.
