# Bug: Remote Command Execution
# Info: Up to now, most ontologies are created manually, which is very time-expensive. The goal is it, to produce ontologies automatically via XSLT, which fit as good as possible to a given XML-file resp. XML-Schema-file

In the file showCode.php there is this... 

<?
	$xml2html = "xsl/xmlverbatim.xsl";
	$path = $_REQUEST['path']; <- 
	
  if(class_exists('XSLTProcessor')) {
    $xsl = new XSLTProcessor();
    
    $res = DOMDocument::load($path);
  
    $xsl->importStylesheet(DOMDocument::load($xml2html));
    echo $xsl->transformToXML($res);
  }
  else {
    $exec_string = "xsltproc " . $xml2html . " " . $path; <-
    echo shell_exec($exec_string); <-
  }
?>

We can modify the $path variable.. and give a remote command execution by the function shell_exec..
