Synopsis

A PHP application hosted on the remote web server allows execution of arbitrary commands.

Description

The version of MicroWorld eScan MWAdmin hosted on the remote web server fails to properly sanitize input to the 'uname' parameter of the 'forgotpassword.php' script before using it when calling 'exec()'.

A remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands on the system. These commands can be executed as root by using the 'runasroot' program, which is included with eScan.
