Php Recommend PHP Code Execution and Authentication Bypass Issues


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Php Recommend, which could be exploited by remote attackers to bypass security restrictions or compromise a vulnerable web server.
The first issue is caused by missing authentication within the "admin.php" script when changing the administrative password, which could allow attackers to modify the password and gain administrative access.
The second vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in the "admin.php" script when processing the "form_include_template" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include malicious PHP scripts and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.
The third issue is caused by an input validation error in the "admin.php" when saving user-supplied data, which could allow attackers to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
