[-] vulnerable code in Phpfox_Module::getComponent() method defined into /include/library/phpfox/module/module.class.php
716. $aParts = explode('.', $sClass);
717. $sModule = $aParts[0];
718. $sComponent = $sType . PHPFOX_DS . substr_replace(str_replace('.', PHPFOX_DS, $sClass), '', 0, strlen($sModule . PHPFOX_DS));
...
748. if (preg_match('/(.*?)\((.*?)\)/', $sComponent, $aMatches) && !empty($aMatches[2]))
749. {
750. eval('$aParams = array_merge($aParams, array(' . $aMatches[2] . '));');
751.
752. $sComponent = $aMatches[1];
753. $sClass = $aMatches[1];
754. }
This method uses its $sClass parameter to construct the $sComponent variable that might be used to inject and execute semi-arbitrary
PHP code in a eval() call at line 750. Due to $sClass parameter is "explode()d" by dots at line 716 andto satisfy the regex at line
748, isn't possible to inject code which contains dots or parentheses, but is still possible to inject semi-arbitrary OS commands
leveraging of PHP's backtick operator. Input passed through $_POST[core][call] (or $_POST[phpfox][call] in v2) to /static/ajax.php
is passed to getComponent() method as $sClass parameter.
