More problems with Auction Weaver & CGI Script Center.

[teleh0r - <teleh0r () DOGLOVER COM>]

CGI Script Center recently upgraded Auction Weaver 1.0 to
1.2 due to a security issue found and reported by Meliksah Ozoral.

Today, I decided to take a look at Auction Weaver just to check
if the issue and possible other security problems were now fixed.

I guessed they had taken a *close* look at their scripts, considering
the problems reported lately - but I guessed wrong...

I have only been able to check the below exploit on the shareware
version, but I strongly believe that the PRO version is exploitable
as well.

Or perhaps only those who pays gets secure scripts? Maybe that would
be a successful business policy? ;)

CGI Script Center, _please_ contact me if you want help securing your
scripts.

Sincerely yours,
teleh0r

## Auction Weaver 1.02 / Only confirmed with LITE
##        -  Proof of Concept exploit -
##
## CGI Script Center have just released an update
## of Auction Weaver due to security reasons - I
## suggest that you spend some more time securing
## it, and the other scripts - It is really needed.
##
## This exploit will spawn a xterm from $target
## to $attacker.
##
## This exploit will not work on hosts running
## Auction Weaver on NT, due to the xterm call.

## CGI Script Center, please contact me if you need
