XOOPS Multiple Scripts mydirname Parameter Arbitrary Command Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 35326

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to command injection attacks.

Description

The version of XOOPS installed on the remote host fails to filter user-supplied input to the 'mydirname' parameter of the 'onupdate.php', 'notification.php', and 'oninstall.php' scripts under the application's 'xoops_lib/modules/protector' directory before passing it to PHP 'eval()' functions.

Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
