Description

CARE2X contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the inc_charset_fx.php script not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'root_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.

Technical

This vulnerability is only present when the register_globals PHP option is set to 'on'. This has not been the default setting for PHP installs since version 4.2.0 (22-Apr-2002).

At the time of disclosure, version 1.1 was roughly three years old (2004-01-11) and had been superceded by several versions up to and including 2.2.

Solution

Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this issue. It is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround: turn the register_globals PHP option to 'off'.
