CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:

SOFTWARE:
phpListPro 2.x
https://secunia.com/product/9306/

DESCRIPTION:
Aesthetico has discovered a vulnerability in phpListPro, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "returnpath" parameter in config.php is not
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

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

Set "register_globals" to "Off".
