Title: Network Tool PHPNuke Addon Metacharacter Filtering Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Network Tool is a PHPNuke addon, written and maintained by Rick Fournier. It is designed to offer network features such as nmap, traceroute, and ping from a web interface.
A problem with the package has been discovered that could allow remote users to gain arbitrary access to restricted resources. The problem is in the filtering of metacharacters by the interface.
When a request is made through the module containing commands embedded in metacharacters, it is possible to pass these commands on to the system. The commands passed to the system will in turn be executed with the permissions of the httpd process.
This makes it possible for a remote user to gain local access to a host running the vulnerable software, and could lead to further compromise of affected systems.

- Francisco Burzi PHP-Nuke 5.0.1
- Francisco Burzi PHP-Nuke 5.1.0
