Nabopoll survey.inc.php path Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18618

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to a remote file include attack.

Description

The remote host is running nabopoll, a web-based voting / survey software for PHP and MySQL.

The installed version of nabopoll allows remote attackers to control the 'path' parameter used when including PHP code in the script 'survey.inc.php'. By leveraging this flaw, 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

Ensure that PHP's 'register_globals' and 'allow_url_fopen' are disabled.
