PHPWebAdmin for hMailServer Multiple File Inclusions

medium Nessus Plugin ID 34726

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to at least one file include attack.

Description

The remote host is running PHPWebAdmin, a PHP-based administration front-end for hMailServer.

The version of PHPWebAdmin installed on the remote host reportedly fails to sanitize user input to the 'page' parameter of the 'index.php' script and the 'hmail_config[includepath]' parameter of the 'initialize.php' script before using it to include PHP code. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
