CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:

SOFTWARE:
PHPNuke-Clan 3.x

DESCRIPTION:
uid0 has discovered a vulnerability in PHPNuke-Clan, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "vwar_root" parameter in
"modules/vWar_Account/includes/functions_common.php" is not properly
verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary PHP code by including PHP scripts from external or
local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 3.0.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

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