TITLE:
WordPress DM Albums Plugin "SECURITY_FILE" File Inclusion
Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35619
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35619/
DESCRIPTION:
Septemb0x has discovered a vulnerability in the DM Albums plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "SECURITY_FILE" parameter in
wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/template/album.php is not properly
verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to
include arbitrary files from local or external resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.9.2. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
Set "register_globals" to "Off" in php.ini.
