IBM OpenAdmin Tool welcomeService.php Remote Code Execution

critical Nessus Plugin ID 104104

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a code injection flaw.

Description

The version of OpenAdmin Tool installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. The welcomeService.php file offers a SOAP interface, which does not validate code passed to the 'saveHomePage' method, allowing a remote attacker to save arbitrary code into 'config.php', which is accessible to remote users. A remote attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target service.

Solution

Upgrade to version 3.16 or later.
