PHP Advanced Transfer Manager <= 1.30 Multiple Vulnerabilities
medium Nessus Plugin ID 19768

Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP script that suffers from cross- site scripting and information disclosure vulnerabilities.Description
The version of PHP Advanced Transfer Manager on the remote host suffers from multiple information disclosure and cross-site scripting flaws. For example, by calling a text or HTML viewer directly, an unauthenticated attacker can view arbitrary files, provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled. In addition, it may allow anyone to directly retrieve users' configuration files, with encrypted password hashes as well as the application's 'test.php' script, which reveals information about the configuration of PHP on the remote host. And finally, it fails to adequately filter arbitrary HTML and script code before using it in dynamically-generated pages.Solution
Disable PHP's 'register_globals' setting, remove the 'test.php' script, and prevent direct access to the 'users' directory.See Also
