TITLE:
FlatPress "user" Local File Inclusion
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36907
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36907/
DESCRIPTION:
Giuseppe Fuggiano has discovered a vulnerability in FlatPress, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
Input passed via the "user" parameter in login.php is not properly
verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to
include arbitrary files from local resources.
Successful exploitation allows to execute arbitrary PHP e.g. via the
"url" field stored in a local comment file but requires that
"magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.812.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.812.2.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Giuseppe Fuggiano
