Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a remote code execution issue.

Description

The version of PHP Easy Download installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'moreinfo' parameter before using it in the 'save.php' script. By sending a specially crafted value, an attacker can store and execute code at the privilege level of the remote web server.

Solution

Upgrade to version 2.5 or later as that version is reportedly not affected.
