ISPConfig Authenticated Arbitrary PHP Code Execution

This module allows an authenticated administrator to export language settings into a PHP script which is intended to be reuploaded later to restore language settings. This feature can be abused to run arbitrary PHP code remotely on the ISPConfig server. The vulnerability was discovered by Brandon Perry.

Mitigation:

Update ISPConfig to the latest version. Additionally, restrict access to the ISPConfig admin interface and ensure that strong passwords are used for all user accounts.
