app/plug/attachment/controller/admincontroller.php in SDCMS 1.6 allows reading arbitrary files via a /?m=plug&c=admin&a=index&p=attachment&root= directory traversal. The value of the root parameter must be base64 encoded (note that base64 encoding, instead of URL encoding, is very rare in a directory traversal attack vector).

An issue was discovered in SDCMS 1.6 with PHP 5.x. app/admin/controller/themecontroller.php uses a checkbad function in an attempt to block certain PHP functions such as eval, but does not prevent use of pregreplace 'e' calls, allowing users to execute arbitrary code by leveraging access to admin template management.
