myGallery mygallerybrowser.php 'myPath' Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 25116

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The third-party myGallery module for WordPress installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'myPath' parameter of the '/mygallery/myfunctions/mygallerybrowser.php' script before using it to include PHP code. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or possibly to execute arbitrary PHP code, perhaps from third-party hosts.

Note that exploitation of this issue does not require that PHP's 'register_globals' setting be enabled.

Solution

Upgrade to myGallery version 1.4b5 or later.
