Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2009-1936. PoCs published by StAkeR.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets CVE-2009-1936, a file inclusion vulnerability in cpCommerce 1.2.x due to improper handling of the GLOBALS[prefix] variable. It allows arbitrary local or remote file inclusion by manipulating the prefix parameter in _functions.php.

Description

_functions.php in cpCommerce 1.2.x, possibly including 1.2.9, sends a redirect but does not exit when it is called directly, which allows remote attackers to bypass a protection mechanism to conduct remote file inclusion and directory traversal attacks, execute arbitrary PHP code, or read arbitrary files via the GLOBALS[prefix] parameter, a different vector than CVE-2003-1500.
