Mambo / Joomla! Multiple Components 'mosConfig_live_site' Parameter Remote File Include

high Nessus Plugin ID 26059

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

A third-party component for Mambo or Joomla! is running on the remote host. At least one such component is affected by a remote file include vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'mosConfig_live_site' parameter before using it to include PHP code. Provided the PHP 'register_globals' setting is enabled, 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.

Solution

Disable the PHP 'register_globals' setting or contact the product's vendor to see if an upgrade exists.
