DESCRIPTION:
Eskarina Smith has discovered a vulnerability in Auto CMS, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed via the "site_name", "site_url", "sitetitle",
"admin_email", "index_name_link", "about_name_link", "about_content",
"ps_name_link", "ps_content", "news_name_link", "news_content",
"contact_name_link", "css_file", "entry_null", "email_thanks_msg",
"email_from", "contact_from", "new_email_msg", "no_valid_host",
"bad_characters", and "long_email" parameters to index.php is not
properly sanitised in core/autocms.php before being saved to
data/vars.php. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary
PHP code.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.6. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
