SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23574

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23574/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
WebText CMS 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/13013/

DESCRIPTION:
Kacper has discovered a vulnerability in WebText CMS, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the “im” parameter when editing user profiles is not
properly sanitised before being stored in a PHP file. This can be
exploited to inject arbitrary PHP commands, which are executed when
invoking the stored PHP file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.4.5.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
