Magento <= 1.9.2 (catalogProductCreate) Autoloaded File Inclusion Vulnerability
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[-] Software Link:

http://magento.com/


[-] Affected Versions:

Version 1.9.2 and prior versions.


[-] Vulnerability Description:

The vulnerability is caused by the "catalogProductCreate" SOAP API implementation,
which is defined into the /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Api/V2.php script:

109.  public function create($type, $set, $sku, $productData, $store = null)
110.  {
111.      if (!$type || !$set || !$sku) {
112.          $this->_fault('data_invalid');
113.      }
114.  
115.      $this->_checkProductTypeExists($type);
116.      $this->_checkProductAttributeSet($set);
117.  
118.      /** @var $product Mage_Catalog_Model_Product */
119.      $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
120.      $product->setStoreId($this->_getStoreId($store))
121.          ->setAttributeSetId($set)
122.          ->setTypeId($type)
123.          ->setSku($sku);
124.  
125.      if (!property_exists($productData, 'stock_data')) {
126.          //Set default stock_data if not exist in product data
127.          $_stockData = array('use_config_manage_stock' => 0);
128.          $product->setStockData($_stockData);
129.      }

User input passed through the "productData" SOAP parameter is not properly validated before being
used in a call to the "property_exists()" function at line 125. This can be exploited by attackers
with valid API credentials to include and execute arbitrary PHP code (both from local or remote
resources) leveraging the Varien_Autoload::autoload() autoloading function. Successful exploitation
of this vulnerability requires the application running on PHP before version 5.4.24 or 5.5.8.

Update to version 1.9.2.1 or apply the SUPEE-6482 patch bundle.
