GForge CVSWeb CGI cvsweb.php PATH_INFO Parameter Arbitrary Command Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 25338

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that allows arbitrary command execution.

Description

The remote host is running GForge, a web-based project for collaborative software development.

The version of GForge installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php' script before using it to execute a shell command. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to the latest SVN version as a fix for this issue was added with revision 6038.
