An issue was discovered in ZZZCMS zzzphp V1.6.1. In the inc/zzz_template.php file, the parserIfLabel() functions filtering is not strict, resulting in PHP code execution, as demonstrated by the if:assert substring.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of an expression language (EL) statement in a framework such as a Java Server Page (JSP) using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended EL statement before it is executed.
