SimpleBoard / Joomlaboard 'sbp' Parameter Remote File Include

high Nessus Plugin ID 22023

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of the SimpleBoard or Joomlaboard component for Mambo or Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by a remote file include vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'sbp' parameter before using it in the file_upload.php or image_upload.php scripts to include PHP code. Provided the PHP 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to disclose arbitrary files or execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user ID.

Solution

Disable the PHP 'register_globals' setting or upgrade to Joomlaboard version 1.1.2 or later.
