Claroline < 1.5.4 / 1.6.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (RFI, SQLi, XSS, Traversal)

high Nessus Plugin ID 18165

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to a variety of attacks.

Description

The version of Claroline (an open source, collaborative learning environment) installed on the remote host suffers from a number of remotely-exploitable vulnerabilities, including:

- Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities Four scripts let an attacker read arbitrary files on the remote host and possibly even run arbitrary PHP code, subject to the privileges of the web server user.

- Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Seven scripts let an attacker inject arbitrary input into SQL statements, potentially revealing sensitive data or altering them.

- Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities An attacker can pass arbitrary HTML and script code through any of 10 flawed scripts and potentially have that code executed by a user's browser in the context of the affected website.

- Multiple Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities By exploiting flaws in 'claroline/document/document.php' and 'claroline/learnPath/insertMyDoc.php', project leaders (teachers) are able to upload files to arbitrary folders or copy/move/delete (then view) files of arbitrary folders.

Solution

Upgrade to Claroline version 1.5.4 / 1.6.0 or later.
