DESCRIPTION:
Kacper has discovered some vulnerabilities in AssoCIateD, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "root_path" parameter in multiple files is not
properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local
or external resources.
Affected files:
includes/cache_mngt.php
includes/gallery_functions.php
admin/menu.php
admin/profile.php
admin/users.php
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.1.3. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
