EasyPHPCalendar Multiple Script serverPath Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18617

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to remote file inclusion attacks.

Description

The remote host is running EasyPHPCalendar, a web-based calendar system written in PHP.

The installed version of EasyPHPCalendar allows remote attackers to control the 'serverPath' variable used when including PHP code in several of the application's scripts. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an attacker is able to view arbitrary files on the remote host and even execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Upgrade to EasyPHPCalendar version 6.2.8 or later.
