Description: FraMe has reported a vulnerability in Mambo server, allowing malicious people to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
The problem is that the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter used in "mod_mainmenu.php" to include "mod_mainmenu.class.php" isn't properly verified. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local and external resources.
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 4.5 and 4.6 (CVS).
Solution: Edit the source to ensure that the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter is verified properly.
