ATutor < 1.5.1-pl1 Multiple Flaws

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for remote arbitrary command in ATutor

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to
multiple flaws.

Description :

The remote host is running ATutor, an open-source web-based Learning
Content Management System (LCMS) written in PHP.

The version of ATutor installed on the remote host may be vulnerable
to arbitrary command execution, arbitrary file access, and cross-site
scripting attacks. Successful exploitation of the first two issues
requires that PHP's 'register_globals' setting be enabled and, in some
cases, that 'magic_quotes_gpc' be disabled.
