Summary
Croogo is a free, open source, content management system for PHP, released under The MIT License. It is powered by CakePHP MVC framework.
Description
Croogo suffers from an authenticated arbitrary PHP code execution. The vulnerability is caused due to the improper verification of uploaded files in '/admin/file_manager/attachments/add' script thru the 'data[Attachment][file]' POST parameter and in '/admin/file_manager/file_manager/upload' script thru the 'data[FileManager][file]' POST parameter. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP script file that will be stored in '/webroot/uploads/' directory.
