Advisory-Status: public
CVE: CAN-2005-0411
(http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0411#)

Introduction
============

Description from vendor: "CitrusDB is an open source customer database
application that uses PHP and a database backend (currently MySQL) to
keep
track of customer information, services, products, billing, and customer
service information."

It is possible to include any local accessible .php file.

More Details
============

CitrusDB uses a wrapper script (./citrusdb/tools/index.php) to load
different
modules and tools. The GET parameter "load" specifies which file
should be
included. With a relative path appended any .php file, that may be
accessed
by the script, on the server may be included.

Proof of Concept
================

To include /tmp/exploit.php use:
http://<target>/citrusdb/tools/index.php?load=../../../../../../tmp/
exploit
Note: You need to be logged in to access this url.

Workaround
==========

Fix
===

n/a (2005-02-03)

Security Risk
=============

The security risk is rated medium. An attacker needs to be able to
create a
.php file on the local filesystem which is normally a high barrier but
in
shared hosting enviroments this may be easier.
