Summary

eFiction 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0, in unspecified environments, might allow remote attackers to conduct unauthorized operations by directly accessing (1) install.php or (2) upgrade.php. NOTE: it is unclear whether this is a vulnerability in eFiction itself or the result of incorrect system administration practices, e.g. by not removing utility scripts once they have been used.

descriptionThe remote host is running eFiction, an open source application in PHP for writers. The installed version of eFiction is affected by numerous flaws : - Members may be able to upload files containing arbitrary PHP code disguised as image files and then run that code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id. If an attacker does not yet have access, he can register and have a password mailed to him automatically. - User-supplied input to several parameters and scripts is used without sanitation, which can lead to SQL injection attacks provided PHP
