Descriptions

WSN Forum 1.3.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a modified pathname in the pathtoconfig parameter that points to an avatar image that contains PHP code, which is then accessed from prestart.php. NOTE: this issue has been labeled remote file inclusion, but that label only applies to the attack, not the underlying vulnerability.

WSN Forum 1.3.4 y anteriores permite a un atacante remoto ejecutar código PHP de su elección a través de una nombre de camino modificado en el parámetro pathtoconfig que apunta a una imagen avatar que contiene código PHP, lo cual se alcanza desde prestart.php. NOTA: este asunto ha sido etiquetado en la inclusión remota de archivo, pero la etiqueta solo se aplica al ataque, no a la vulnerabilidad subrayada.
