Simple PHP Blog config/users.php Arbitrary User Password Hash Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 34110

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of Simple PHP Blog installed on the remote host allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve information about non-admin users defined to the application, including their user names and password hashes, which could in turn be used to gain access to the application.

While these users do not have administrative access to the application, they may have the ability to moderate comments, delete blog entries, or edit entries. They may also have the ability to execute arbitrary code by leveraging a vulnerability involving uploading of 'emoticons', although Nessus has not tested this issue.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
