Limbo com_contact File Upload Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to upload a file with PHP code in Limbo CMS

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that permits uploading
of arbitrary files.

Description :

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

The 'com_contact' component of the version of Limbo installed on the
remote host permits an unauthenticated remote attacker to upload
arbitrary files to a known directory within the web server's document
root. Provided PHP's 'file_uploads' setting is enabled, which is true
by default, this flaw can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on
the affected host, subject to the rights of the web server user
id.
