CodeGrrl Applications Remote File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20214

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a remote file inclusion vulnerability.

Description

The remote host appears to be running at least one of the PHP applications from CodeGrrl - PHPCalendar, PHPClique, PHPFanBase, or PHPQuotes. Under certain conditions, these applications fail to sanitize input to the 'siteurl' parameter of the 'protection.php' script before using it in a PHP 'include' function. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host and to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Enable PHP's 'register_globals' setting.
