Description
bigAPE-Backup for Mambo version 1.1 contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to Tar.php not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'mosConfig_absolute_path' variable. This may allow an attacker to include a file from a remote host that contains arbitrary commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script.
