Invision Power Board ipchat.php root_path Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 11273

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a remote file inclusion attack.

Description

It is possible to make the remote host include PHP files hosted on a third-party server using Invision Power Board. The ipchat.php script fails to sanitize input passed to the 'root_path' parameter.

An attacker may use this flaw to inject arbitrary code in the remote host and gain a shell with the privileges of the web server.

In addition, the ad_member.php script has been reported vulnerable. However, Nessus has not checked for that script.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
