ShoutPro 1.5.2 - arbitrary code execution

[jd2k2000@hotmail.com]

<?/*
File: shoutbox.php
Affects: ShoutPro 1.5.2 (may affect earlier versions)
Date: 17th April 2007

Issue Description:
================================================== =========================
ShoutPro 1.5.2 fails to fully sanitize user input ($shout) that it writes
to the shouts.php file when adding a new message, this can result in the
injection and execution of arbitrary php code.
================================================== =========================

Scope:
================================================== =========================
The vulnerability will in most cases allow an attacker to execute commands
on the system, the issue may be further perpetuated if the user has followed
the official documentation and chmoded the base folder to '777'
================================================== =========================

Recommendation:
================================================== =========================
1) Add code to perform strip_tags() on $shout in shoutbox.php
2) Prevent direct access to shouts.php with a .htaccess file
================================================== =========================
