e107 db.php User Database Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 11805

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP application that suffers from an information disclosure flaw.

Description

The version of e107 installed on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability because of a flaw in the 'admin/db.php' script. This can allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to obtain a dump of the SQL database used by e107, by sending a specially crafted request. An attacker may use this flaw to obtain the MD5 hashes of the passwords of the users of the web site.

Note that the vendor claims the db_dump code requires admin credentials; however, Nessus was able to exploit this issue without authentication.

Solution

Upgrade to version 0.600 or later.
