*Description:*

The vulnerability with phpthumb with a known vulnerability, however it has
been included with com_flexicontent package.

The exploit is nested in the "SafeExec" function, but the vulnerable
parameter is passed to "ImageMagickThumbnailToGD".

The vulnerable code is as follows:

foreach ($this->fltr as $filterkey => $filtercommand) {
@list($command, $parameter) = explode('|', $filtercommand, 2);
switch ($command) {
case 'blur':
if ($this->ImageMagickSwitchAvailable('blur')) {
@list($radius) = explode('|', $parameter);
$radius = ($radius ? $radius : 1);
$commandline .= ' -blur '.$radius;
unset($this->fltr[$filterkey]);
}
break;

$this->DebugMessage('ImageMagick called as ('.$commandline.')', __FILE__,
__LINE__);
$IMresult = phpthumb_functions::SafeExec($commandline);
clearstatcache();
if (@$IMtempSourceFilename && file_exists($IMtempSourceFilename)) {
@unlink($IMtempSourceFilename);
}

if (!@file_exists($IMtempfilename) || !@filesize($IMtempfilename)) {
$this->FatalError('ImageMagick failed with message
('.trim($IMresult).')');
$this->DebugMessage('ImageMagick failed with message
('.trim($IMresult).')', __FILE__, __LINE__);


Here the vulnerable parameter is fltr[] as the params passed is exploded by
the pipe (|) character, and that's where the code is passed.
How the command is processed:

$output = array();
$lastline = $execfunction($command, $output);
$returnvalue = implode("\n", $output);


As we can see the $command parameter is compiled with the imagemagick path,
filename and parameters. Even the phpThumbDebug parameter gives us a
console like account of everything imagemagick does as it executes.
