(Such as passwords) Arbituary EXEC allows you, if you can get on to a new line, to execute your own PHP, which can be fatal. Description: Because of the way urldecode and magic quotes works, it turns %2527 into %27, which is a single quote, and it leaves it unslashed. This gives you a SQL Injection, leading to arbituary PHP exec hole. But because you can't get outside preg_replace because of magic quotes, this is very very useless. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Highlighting %2527 on any topic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // URL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- viewtopic.php?t=1&highlight=%2527 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Error ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in viewtopic.php(1109) : regexp code on line 1 Fatal error: Failed evaluating code: preg_replace('#\b(')\b#i', '\1', '>POST TEXT HERE<') in viewtopic.php on line 1109 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xxx ;eof
