Artmedic · Artmedic Newsletter · CVE-2006-2608
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
artmedic newsletter version 4.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary files and execute arbitrary PHP code when `register globals` is enabled. This is achieved by exploiting the `logfile` parameter in a direct request to "log.php", which redefines the `$logfile` variable to an attacker-controlled value. For example, an attacker can inject PHP code into "info.php".
**Recommendations**
For artmedic newsletter version 4.1, consider disabling the `register globals` setting to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the "log.php" file to minimize the risk of arbitrary file modification and PHP code execution. Avoid using the `logfile` parameter in direct requests to "log.php" until the issue is resolved.
