Description
Limbo CMS 1.0.4.2 and earlier, with register_globals off, does not protect the $_SERVER variable from external modification, which allows remote attackers to use the _SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] parameter to (1) conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks in the stats module or (2) execute arbitrary code via an eval injection attack in the wrapper option in index2.php.

Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
