Discussion
Derek Leung pSlash Remote Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability
pSlash is freely available, open-source web portal software. It allows users to create their own websites based on a template.
A problem exists in pSlash that will allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a host running the software(with the privileges of the webserver process). It is possible to supply arbitrary data to the $include variable. As a result, the affected script may be redirected to execute arbitrary code located on an external host, as specified by the attacker.
This issue can be exploited if the remote attacker submits a maliciously crafted URL.
