high Nessus Plugin ID 20014

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI script that is prone to arbitrary code execution.

Description

The remote host is running WebGUI, a content management system from Plain Black Software.

The installed version of WebGUI on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input via the 'class' variable to various sources before using it to run commands. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host within the context of the affected web server userid.

Solution

Upgrade to WebGUI 6.7.6 or later.
