JCE Admin Component for Joomla! 'plugin' Parameter Local File Include
high Nessus Plugin ID 23781
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a local file include vulnerability.Description
The version of the JCE Admin component for Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by a local file include vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'plugin' parameter before using it in the components/com_jce/jce.php script to include PHP code. Regardless of the PHP 'register_globals' setting, 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.In addition, the component is reportedly also affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities involving other parameters to the same script, as well as an additional local file include vulnerability; however, Nessus has not checked for these.
