RedTeam Discovers 0-day in FileThingie Web App

RedTeam Discovers Access Violation Vulnerability in File Thingie Web-based File Manager
Jeremiah Talamantes, Principal Security Consultant and Security Researcher at RedTeam, has discovered a security vulnerability in File Thingie version 2.5.5. File Thingie is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and run it in the context of the web server process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks may also possible.
Jeremiah has developed proof of concept code for this vulnerability in PHP that overwrites the ft2.php source code with a "backdoored" copy of the application disabling many of the implemented security controls.
This 0-day has been published by the Exploit Database, SecurityFocus and Packet Storm Security among others.
