Alexandria-dev Multiple Script Upload Spoofing Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 11498

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote host seems to be running Alexandria-Dev, an open source project management system.

The CGIs 'docman/new.php' and 'patch/index.php' can be used by an attacker with the proper credentials to upload a file and trick the server about its real location on the disk. Therefore, an attacker may use this flaw to read arbitrary files on the remote server.

*** Nessus solely relied on the presence of this CGI to issue
*** this alert, so this might be a false positive.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
