Dragonfly CMS install.php newlang Parameter Local File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 20869

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host appears to be running Dragonfly / CPG-Nuke CMS, a content management system written in PHP.

The installed version of Dragonfly / CPG-Nuke CMS fails to validate user input to the 'getlang' parameter as well as the 'installlang' cookie before using them in the 'install.php' script in PHP 'require()' functions. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host and possibly to execute arbitrary PHP code taken from files on the remote host, both subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Note that successful exploitation is not affected by PHP's 'register_globals' and 'magic_quotes_gpc' settings.

Solution

Remove the affected 'install.php' script.
