Power Editor LOCAL FILE INCLUSION Vulnerbility
A local file inclusion vulnerability exists in Power Editor, which allows an attacker to include a file from the local system. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from the local system. The vulnerability is located in the 'editor.php' script when the 'action' parameter is set to 'tempedit'. The 'm' parameter is base64 encoded and is used to authenticate the user. The 'te' parameter is used to specify the file to include and the 'dir' parameter is used to specify the directory. Successful exploitation requires that 'register_globals' is set to 'on'.
Mitigation:
Disable 'register_globals' and filter input passed to the 'te' and 'dir' parameters.
