CMS Made Simple admin/lang.php nls Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19551

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is vulnerable to remote file include attacks.

Description

The remote host appears to be running CMS Made Simple, a content management system written in PHP.

The version of CMS Made Simple installed on the remote host fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'nls' parameter of the 'admin/lang.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 CMS Made Simple 0.10.1 or later.
