TITLE:
CARE2X File Inclusion and Information Exposure

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24481

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24481/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
CARE2X 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/13648/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in CARE2X, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise vulnerable systems and to
disclose system information.

1) Input passed to the "root_path" parameter in
include/inc_checkdate_lang.php, include/inc_environment_global.php,
and include/inc_load_copyrite.php is not properly verified before
being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local or external resources.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities requires that
"register_globals" is enabled.

2) It is possible to view certain system information returned by the
"phpinfo()" function by accessing the phpinfo.php script directly.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

Set "register_globals" in php.ini to Off.

Restrict web access to the phpinfo.php script.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) Dedi Dwianto a.k.a. the_day
