DESCRIPTION:
kaneda has discovered a security issue in CRE Loaded, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The problem is that it is possible to access the
"/admin/htmlarea/popups/file/files.php" script directly without being
authenticated as the administrator. This can be exploited to upload
arbitrary files to a location inside the web root (e.g. a PHP
script), and create or delete arbitrary files and directories.

The security issue has been confirmed in version 6.15. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the "/admin/htmlarea/popups/file/files.php"
script.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
