XOOPS XFSection Module modify.php dir_module Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 25493

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running XFSection, a third-party module for XOOPS.

The version of this module installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'dir_module' parameter of the 'modify.php' script before using it to include PHP code. Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' setting, 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.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
