Achievo allows remote attacker to execute malicious PHP code
| achievo-php-execute-code (9947) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Achievo could allow a remote attacker to execute malicious PHP code. The $config_atkroot variable in the class.atkdateattribute.js.php file is used to set the path for configuration data and function libraries. A remote attacker can create a specially-crafted text file containing malicious PHP code on a remote Web server, which would be executed by sending a URL request and defining $config_atkroot to the location of the text file.
Consequences:
