Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Owl Intranet Engine, which may be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These flaw are due to input validation errors in the "lib/OWL_API.php" script that does not validate the "xrms_file_root", "include_directory", and "owl_location" variables before being passed to a "require_once()" call, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include malicious scripts and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.

Affected Products

Owl Intranet Engine version 0.82 and prior

Solution

VUPEN Security is not aware of any vendor-supplied patch.
