TITLE:
Pulse CMS Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39046
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39046/
DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Pulse CMS,
which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable
system and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.
1) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. delete image files or create
blocks if a logged-in user visits a malicious web site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3. Prior
versions may also be affected.
2) An error in the validation of uploaded image files can be
exploited to upload files with an arbitrary extension to a folder
within the web root. This can be exploited to upload and execute
arbitrary PHP code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires
authentication.
The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3. Prior
versions may also be affected. While version 1.2.4 implements fixes
related to the image upload functionality, it can still be exploited
to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP script
with multiple extensions (e.g. "shell.php.gif") if Apache is not
configured to handle the mime-type for media files with e.g. "gif"
extensions.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.4, which fixes vulnerability #1 and partially
fixes vulnerability #2.
