Alex News-engine (fckeditor) Arbitrary File Upload

A vulnerability exists in Alex News-engine (fckeditor) which allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files to the server. The vulnerability is due to the lack of proper authentication and authorization checks in the '/editors/FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php?Command=FileUpload&Type=File&CurrentFolder=/' script.
