TITLE:
SysCP Execution of Arbitrary Commands

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24102

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24102/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
SysCP 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5502/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability and a weakness have been reported in SysCP, which can
be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Directory names inside a user's home directory are not properly
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary commands with root privileges via a cron script when the
user protects this directory with the control panel.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.2.15.

2) Due to the file "scripts/cronscript.php" not properly validating
files from the database table "panel_cronscript" before including
them, it is possible to insert and execute arbitrary PHP files with
root privileges.

Successful exploitation requires access to the database.

The weakness is reported in versions 1.2.3 through 1.2.15.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.16.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) The vendor credits Daniel Schulte
