	PhpWebGallery <= 1.7.2 Remote Session Hijacking / Code Execution Exploit

	author...: EgiX
	mail.....: n0b0d13s[at]gmail[dot]com

	link.....: http://www.phpwebgallery.net/
	details..: works with at least two rows in _comments table

	This PoC was written for educational purpose. Use it at your own risk.
	Author will be not responsible for any damage.

	[-] vulnerable code in /plugins/event_tracer/event_list.php

	60.	$sort= isset($_GET['sort']) ? $_GET['sort'] : 1;
	61.	usort(
	62.	  $events,
	63.	  create_function( '$a,$b', 'return $a['.$sort.']>$b['.$sort.'];' )
	64.	  );

	An attacker could be able to inject and execute PHP code through $_GET['sort'], that is passed
	to create_function() at line 63 (see https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/31398). Only admin can
	access to the plugins management interface, but the attacker might be able to retrieve a valid
	admin session id using the SQL injection bug in comments.php (see lines 325-340)
