AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages a file upload vulnerability in Limbo CMS <= 1.0.4.2L, where the `file_ext` function fails to properly validate file extensions, allowing arbitrary PHP code execution via a maliciously crafted filename (e.g., `suntzu.gif.php`). The exploit uploads a PHP shell and executes commands via HTTP headers.

Description

Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in contact.html.php in the Contact (com_contact) component in Limbo (aka Lite Mambo) CMS 1.0.4.2L and earlier allows remote attackers to upload PHP code to the images/contact folder via a filename with a double extension in the contact_attach parameter in a contact option in index.php, which bypasses an insufficiently restrictive regular expression.
