CVSS 2.0 ([email protected]): 7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

load_prefs.php and supporting include files in SquirrelMail 1.0.4 and earlier do not properly initialize certain PHP variables, which allows remote attackers to (1) view sensitive files via the config_php and data_dir options, and (2) execute arbitrary code by using options_order.php to upload a message that could be interpreted as PHP.

Affected configurations

• squirrelmail squirrelmail 1.0.4 • squirrelmail squirrelmail 1.0.5
