Monster Top List sources/functions.php root_path Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 21309

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running Monster Top List, a site rating script written in PHP.

The installed version of Monster Top List fails to sanitize user input to the 'root_path' parameter in sources/functions.php before using it to include PHP code from other files. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to read arbitrary local files or include a file from a remote host that contains commands which will be executed on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server process.

This flaw is only exploitable if PHP's 'register_globals' is enabled.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
