RunCMS Multiple Script bbPath Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20880

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to remote file include attacks.

Description

The installed version of RunCMS fails to validate user input to the 'bbPath' parameter of two scripts. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Note that successful exploitation requires that PHP's 'register_globals' setting be enabled.

Solution

Upgrade to RunCMS 1.3a or later.
