Title: Kietu Index.PHP Remote File Include Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Kietu is web-based software to tracking web site usage statistics. It is implemented in PHP.

A flaw exists in the Kietu 'index.php' script that may permit remote attackers to include malicious remote files. Remote users may influence the include path for the 'config.php' configuration file which may result in execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the webserver process.

The issue surrounds the '$kietu[]' array variable. This variable contains application configuration variables including the 'url_hit' variable. An attacker may be able to specify this array variable by issuing a specially crafted URI to the application provided that the local PHP configuration has 'register_global' and 'allow_url_fopen' directives are enables.

Please see the exploit section for more details.
