phpLDAPadmin custom_welcome_page Parameter File Include Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 19547

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a remote file include issue.

Description

The remote host appears to be running phpLDAPadmin, a PHP-based LDAP browser.

The version of phpLDAPadmin installed on the remote host fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'custom_welcome_page' parameter of the 'welcome.php' script before using it to include PHP code. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to view arbitrary files on the remote host and execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Upgrade to phpLDAPadmin 0.9.7-alpha6 or later.
