Limbo com_fm Component PHP Shell Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to call Limbo's com_fm installer

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains PHP scripts that permit copying of
arbitrary files into the web document directory.

Description :

The remote host is running Limbo CMS, a content-management system
written in PHP.

The 'com_fm' component of the version of Limbo installed on the remote
host permits an unauthenticated remote attacker to copy arbitrary
files, possibly taken from a third-party host, into the web document
directory. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this
flaw to read files on the affected host or even set up a PHP shell
that would permit execution of arbitrary code, subject to the
rights of the web server user id.
