CVE-2006-2845


Description:
beford has discovered some vulnerabilities in REDAXO, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "REX[INCLUDE_PATH]" parameter in multiple files is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external resources.

Affected files:
redaxo/include/addons/image_resize/pages/index.inc.php
redaxo/include/addons/import_export/pages/index.inc.php
redaxo/include/addons/stats/pages/index.inc.php
redaxo/include/addons/simple_user/pages/index.inc.php (only in version 3.0)
redaxo/include/addons/simple_shop/pages/index.inc.php (only in version 3.0)

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and that support for custom .htaccess files is disabled on the system.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
