TITLE:
Mambo a6MamboCredits Component File Inclusion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA21540

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21540/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
a6MamboCredits 2.x (component for Mambo)
http://secunia.com/product/11570/
a6MamboCredits 1.x (component for Mambo)
http://secunia.com/product/11571/

DESCRIPTION:
Charles Nelwan has discovered a vulnerability in the a6MamboCredits
component for Mambo, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter in
administrator/components/com_a6mambocredits/admin.a6mambocredits.php
isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.0 and has also
been reported in version 1.0.0. Other versions may also be affected.

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

Set "register_globals" to "Off".

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
