fuzzylime (cms) rss.php file include
| fuzzylimecms-rss-file-include (43605) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
fuzzylime (cms), formerly PHP-Update, could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. If magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the rss.php script using the "p" parameter to specify a malicious file from the local system, which could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.
Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, the attacker would first be required to upload a malicious file or inject arbitrary commands into an existing file.
Platforms Affected:
- fuzzylime, fuzzylime (cms) 3.01a
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of fuzzylime (cms) (3.01b or later), available from the fuzzylime (cms) Web site. See References.
