TITLE:
ezContents Arbitrary File Inclusion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA10604

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10604/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
ezContents 1.x

DESCRIPTION:
Zero_X has identified a vulnerability in ezContents, allowing
malicious people to include and execute arbitrary files.

The problem is that the "link" parameter in "module.php" isn't
properly verified before it is used in an "include" function. This
can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local and external
resources.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.45b. Prior versions
may also be affected.

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

Version 2.0.1 is not vulnerable to this issue.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Zero_X
