Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The Adobe Captivate application running on the remote web server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the quiz reporting feature within the 'internalServerReporting.php' script due to improper sanitization and verification of uploaded files before placing them in a user-accessible path. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by uploading and then making a direct request to a crafted file, to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user ID.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Captivate 2017 (10.0.0.192) or later. Alternatively, apply the hotfix for Adobe Captivate 8 and 9.
