Claroline Multiple Script includePath Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21641

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to remote file inclusion attacks.

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 'includePath' parameter before using it to include PHP code in the 'claroline/auth/extauth/drivers/mambo.inc.php' and 'claroline/auth/extauth/drivers/postnuke.inc.php' scripts. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these flaws to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Upgrade to Claroline 1.7.6 or later.
