Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-pagenavi domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

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.
