TITLE:
Sciurus Hosting Panel Security Bypass and PHP Code Execution

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27708

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27708/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Sciurus Hosting Panel 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/16596/

DESCRIPTION:
Liz0ziM has discovered two vulnerabilities in Sciurus Hosting Panel,
which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions and to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The acp/savenews.php script does not restrict access to logged in
users and can be exploited to change the news without valid user
credentials.

2) Input passed to the "filecontents" parameter in acp/savenews.php
is not properly sanitised before being saved in includes/news.php.
This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.04. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to acp/savenews.php (e.g. with ".htaccess").

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Liz0ziM
