Bug Explanation:

The platform presents some vulnerabilities in the "login system" and in the "private message sender system".
The first vulnerability is in index.php that verifies the login without sql database verifying the existence of files with the structure Nick.HashMD5Password.php in a dir "db".
The cms'coder didn't thought about directory transversal. In fact if we try to login with these cookies:

rem_user = /../users/Nick
rem_pass = HashMD5Password

Where Nick and HashMD5Password are an existent UserName and MD5 Password's Hash, we'll gain administration rights. This happens because the "function is_admin" will check the file existence of /db/admin/../users/Nick.HashMD5Password.php
Obvious this may work with any file (with some collateral errors because it missed an include :P)
Whatever this doesn't make us able to do a lot of action in control panel because we will not have superadmin rights (see is_superadmin() function)
The second vulnerability is in vedipm.php and make us able to write a file on the server, but we can't get a RCE because our action are limited by htmlspecialchars that changes characters of php code (< >). Whatever $_SESSION[user] is not htmlspecialcharsed.
Using the first and the second vulnerability we can gain a RCE. We will create a "file named with php code" , with this we'll login and get an evil $_SESSION[user] that will be written in a php file.

A lot of other Vulnerabilities have been found in this platform, but their functionality depends by the configuration OFF of MAGIC QUOTES or other uses of vulnerabilities I explained , so they were not published.
