high Nessus Plugin ID 33445

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is susceptible to a local file include attack.

Description

The version of trixbox dashboard installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'langChoice' parameter of the 'user/index.php' script before using it to include PHP code.
Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' setting, an unauthenticated attacker could leverage this issue to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Versions 2.6.1 and prior are reportedly affected by the issue referenced above. Consequently, refer to the vendor for patch and/or upgrade options.
