http://secunia.com/advisories/21590/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information, System access

WHERE:

SOFTWARE:
Content Management Module for PHProjekt 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/11676/

DESCRIPTION:
D3nGeR has reported a vulnerability in the Content Management Module
for PHProjekt, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "pre_path" parameter in cm_lib.inc.php is not
properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

This can further be exploited to include arbitrary PHP scripts from
an external Windows share if the affected system is running PHP5 on
Windows.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled
and "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.6.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
