Simplog <= 0.9.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 21224

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is susceptible to multiple issues.

Description

The remote host is running Simplog, an open source blogging tool written in PHP.

The version of Simplog installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 's' parameter of the 'doc/index.php' script before using it in a PHP 'include()' function. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

In addition, it also reportedly is affected by various SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and information disclosure vulnerabilities.

Solution

Upgrade to Simplog 0.9.3 or later.
