PHProjekt <= 5.1 Multiple Remote File Inclusions

high Nessus Plugin ID 22271

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running PHProjekt, an open source groupware suite written in PHP.

The version of PHProjekt installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'path_pre' parameter of the 'lib/specialdays.php' script as well as the 'lib_path' parameter of the 'lib/dbman_filter.inc.php' script before using it to include PHP code. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can 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 PHProjekt version 5.1.1 or later.
