Pulse CMS Arbitrary File Writing

Pulse CMS Arbitrary File Writing
Posted Mar 24, 2010
Site secunia.com

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Pulse CMS, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system. Input passed via the "filename" and "block" parameters to view.php is not properly sanitized before being used to write to a file. This can be exploited to write arbitrary content to an arbitrary file via a specially crafted POST request and allows executing arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation requires authentication.
