"Yes, we have responsibility, but no enough time to make a new release. ...
This failure will never used by real hackers because it's better to found
something in Acrobat or other wildspread soft. ... So stop crying, kiddy."

Conclusion: Better think twice before using a software from developers like
this. There are alternatives to EasyPHP.
That sounds like a Pwnie Award nomination for the lamest vendor
response. http://pwnies.com.

EasyPHP 12.1 - Remote code execution of any php/js on local PC

Product:

EasyPHP installs a complete WAMP environment for PHP developers in
Windows including PHP, Apache, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin, Xdebug... -
http://www.easyphp.org/

Problem:

EasyPHP also provides a php "Code Tester" feature: "If you want to
quickly test a piece of code, enter your code in the field below and
click on "Interpret the code"."

codetester.php gets the php via a form which submits it to hardcoded
url http://127.0.0.1/home/codetester.php

There is no nonce or any other check about the origin of the post
call.

The php will then be written to a file /home/codesource.php and
executed.

If EasyPHP 12.1 is running on your PC and you visit an "evil" page on
some server in internet with your browser, you are pwned.
[...]

Finally (sort of) an answer of the developers:

"Yes, we have responsibility, but no enough time to make a new release. ...
This failure will never used by real hackers because it's better to found
something in Acrobat or other wildspread soft. ... So stop crying, kiddy."

Conclusion: Better think twice before using a software from developers like
this. There are alternatives to EasyPHP.

And a hint to interested fellow researchers, there is much more "failure" in
EasyPHP, but we "stop crying", for now...
