Affected Products:

Simploo CMS 1.7.1 and prior

Description

"Simploo CMS is a content management system (CMS)."

More Details

I have discovered some vulnerabilities in Simploo CMS, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed via the "FTP-Server" field when editing FTP options is not properly
sanitised in lib/Simploo/Config/Writer/Ini.php before being saved to the
config/custom/base.ini.php file. This can be exploited to inject and execute
arbitrary PHP code via a specially crafted parameter value. Successful exploitation
requires "write" privileges.

Solution

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
