Gallery stepOrder Parameter Local File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21040

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple local file include flaws.

Description

The version of Gallery hosted on the remote web server fails to sanitize input to the 'stepOrder' parameter of the 'upgrade/index.php' and 'install/index.php' scripts before using it in a PHP 'require()' function. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected host provided the PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled.

Note that Nessus has only tested the 'upgrade/index.php' script to confirm this issue.

Solution

Disable PHP's 'register_globals' setting, delete the application's 'upgrade/index.php' or 'install/index.php' scripts, or upgrade to Gallery version 2.0.4 / 2.1-RC-2a or later.
