- Description:
####################

LokiCMS is a content management system that is designed to be simple and clear.
Most cms systems are way to complicated if you just want to make a small mostly static site,
LokiCMS allows you to make a simple site with a few clicks.


####################
- Vulnerability:
####################
Its possible for a remote attacker to set "CMS main settings" without admin privileges.
There is a logical weakness in "admin.php" which could result in multiple vulnerabilitis 
simply by set "LokiACTION" and desired parameters via http POST method. 


####################
- Code Snippet:
####################

# admin.php Lines:24-42
if ( isset ( $_POST ) && isset ( $_POST['LokiACTION'] ) && strlen ( trim ( $_POST['LokiACTION'] )
) > 0 ) {
	// we have an action to do
	switch ( trim ( $_POST['LokiACTION'] ) ) {
		case 'A_LOGOUT': // Logout
			unset($_SESSION[PATH]);
			break;
		
		case 'A_LOGIN': // Login
			if ( isset ( $_POST['login'] ) && sha1 ( $_POST['login'] ) == $c_password )
				$_SESSION[PATH] = 'logged in lokicms030';
			break;
		
		case 'A_SAVE_G_SETTINGS': //save main settings
			writeconfig ( $c_password, $_POST['title'], $_POST['header'], $_POST['tagline'],
$_POST['footnote'], $c_default, $_POST['theme'], $_POST['language'], $_POST['modrewrite'],
$_POST['simplelink'], $_POST['code'] );
  			$c_theme = $_POST['theme'];
			include PATH . '/includes/Config.php';
			include PATH . '/languages/' . $c_lang . '.lang.php';
			$msg = $lang ['admin'] ['expressionSettingsSaved'];
			break;

# includes/Functions.php Lines:163-200
