vulnerable code index.php near line 503-10:
...
if ($updwelcome && isset($welcomedata) && check_welcome($dir)) {
if (strlen($welcomedata) < 10000) {
write_welcome($dir,$welcomedata);
echo "<html><script language="javascript">window.opener.location="?dir=".rawurlencode($di
r)."";window.close();</script></html>";
} else echo "Sorry more data (10k) than allowed, protection aborting the operation<br />";
exit;
}

poc, a remote user can go to this url:
http://[target]/[path]/index.php?dir=&editwelcome=1&popup=0
to have unauthorized access to some edit functionalities and to insert html/
/javascript code or simply deface the main page
temporary patch -> replace this line:
...
if ($updwelcome && isset($welcomedata) && check_welcome($dir)) {
...
with:
...
if ($admin && $updwelcome && isset($welcomedata) && check_welcome($dir)) {
...
