	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 http://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)
