Claroline ldap.inc.php clarolineRepositorySys Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21335

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running Claroline, an open source, web-based, collaborative learning environment written in PHP.

The version of Claroline installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'clarolineRepositorySys' parameter of the 'claroline/auth/extauth/drivers/ldap.inc.php' script before using it to include files with PHP code. 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.

Note that there are reportedly several other parameters and scripts affected by remote file includes in the same version of Claroline, although Nessus has not tested for these.

Solution

Apply the patches referenced in the vendor advisory above.
