IMPACT: System access

SOFTWARE: phpMyReports 3.x - http://secunia.com/product/13374/

DESCRIPTION: GolD_M has discovered a vulnerability in phpMyReports, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise vulnerable systems. Input passed to the "cfgPathModule" parameter in include/lib/lib_head.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.11. Other versions may also be affected.

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