+ iWare Pro <= 5.0.4 (chat_panel.php) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Affected Software .: iWare Professional CMS <= 5.0.4
+ Vendor ............: http://www.dsiware.com/
+ Download ..........: http://dsiware.com/download.php
+ Description .......: "iWare is a Open Source PHP & MySQL Content Management System"
+ Class .............: Remote Code Execution
+ Risk ..............: High (Remote Code Execution)
+ Found By ..........: nuffsaid <nuffsaid[at]newbslove.us>
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Details:
+ iWare admin/mods/simplechat_1.0.0/chat_panel.php does not sanatize the $message variable
+ in the first argument of the PostMessage() function on line 11 before writing the variable
+ contents to chat_log.php on line 25. When chat_panel.php is requested, the PostMessage()
+ function is called on line 32 and $_REQUEST['msg'] is written to chat_log.php unsanatized.
+
+ Vulnerable Code: 
+ admin/mods/simplechat_1.0.0/chat_panel.php, line(s) 11-32:
+ -> 11: function PostMessage($message) {
+ -> 16:  $new_message = "".$message."<br />\n";
+ -> 23:  $open_file = fopen("chat_log.php", "w");
+ -> 25:  fputs($open_file, stripslashes($new_message));
+ -> 28:  fclose($open_file);
+ -> 29: }
+ -> 32: if($_REQUEST['talk']==1){PostMessage($_REQUEST['msg']);}
