SMF 1.1.6 Remote Code Execution Exploit
SMF suffers from multiple vulnerabilities. Combining some of them, we can obtain a remote code execution on the remote host. The admin is supposed to go on this URL http://[website]/SMF/index.php?action=packages;sa=install2;package=[filename] (1) and since $_REQUEST['package'] is not checked, we can install any package we want, even a malicious one.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user input is properly validated and sanitized before being used in any system operations.
