Directory traversal vulnerability in cmsimple/cms.php in CMSimple 3.1, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the sl parameter to index.php. NOTE: this can be leveraged for remote file execution by including adm.php and then invoking the upload action. NOTE: on 20080601, the vendor patched 3.1 without changing the version number.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CMSimple 3.1 could let an unauthenticated remote attacker make the site include and run local files when PHP register_globals is enabled. The record also says this could be escalated to remote file execution through the upload path. Business impact is highest for legacy public CMSimple sites. Exposure is likely limited to legacy CMSimple 3.1 deployments, especially internet-facing PHP sites with register_globals enabled. The bundle does not identify affected CPEs or later versions. Prioritize remediation if any CMSimple 3.1 site is public or still business-relevant. The technology and PHP setting are legacy, but successful abuse could lead to code execution and site compromise. Mitigation focus: Identify any CMSimple 3.1 installations and confirm whether they are still public.; Disable PHP register_globals wherever possible.; Apply the vendor-patched CMSimple 3.1 package from after 2008-06-01..
