BandSite CMS "root_path" Parameter Handling Remote File Inclusion Vulnerability


Description   A vulnerability has been identified in BandSite CMS, which may be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This flaw is due to input validation errors in various scripts (e.g. "includes/content/contact_content.php") that fail to validate the "root_path" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include malicious files and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.
