Synopsis

The remote host has a PHP script that is affected by an authentication bypass issue.

Description

The remote host is running TrueGalerie, an album management system written in PHP.

There is a flaw in the version of TrueGalerie that could allow an attacker to log in as the administrator without having to know the password, simply by requesting the URL :

/admin.php?loggedin=1 Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an attacker may use this flaw to gain administrative privileges on this web server and modify its content.

Solution

Disable the option 'register_globals' in php.ini or replace this set of CGI by something else.
