    Synopsis
    ========

    PHProjekt contains a vulnerability in the setup procedure allowing
    remote users without admin rights to change the configuration.

    Background
    ==========

    PHProjekt is a modular groupware web application used to coordinate
    group activities and share files.

    Description
    ===========

    Martin Muench, from it.sec, found a flaw in the setup.php file.

    Impact
    ======

    Successful exploitation of the flaw allows a remote attacker without
    admin rights to make unauthorized changes to PHProjekt configuration.

    Workaround

    PHProjekt root directory by the one provided on the PHProjekt Advisory
    (see References).

    Resolution
