Description:
David 'Aesthetico' Vieira-Kurz of MajorSecurity reported a vulnerability in dotWidget CMS. A remote user can include and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The software does not properly validate user-supplied input. If register_globals is enabled, 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.
The 'file_path' parameter in the 'index.php', 'feedback.php', and 'printfriendly.php' scripts are affected.
