MTCMS <= 2.0 Remote File Include Exploit

This exploit allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary files on the target system by including a malicious file through the admin_settings.php script in MTCMS <= 2.0. The vulnerability arises due to the lack of proper input sanitization, allowing an attacker to specify a remote file to be included and executed on the server.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update to a newer version of MTCMS that addresses this issue. Additionally, ensure that register_globals is set to off in the PHP configuration.
