CubeCart 'admin.php' Authentication Bypass Information Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 42371

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host has an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of CubeCart running on the remote host has an authentication bypass vulnerability that could lead to information disclosure. Sending a specially crafted POST request for admin.php bypasses authentication for the administrative user, revealing information such as CubeCart version, PHP version, MySQL version, web server version, and CubeCart license key. A remote attacker could use this information to mount further attacks.

Please note this plugin is similar to Nessus plugin #42353, but performs a slightly different check.

Solution

Upgrade to CubeCart 4.3.6 or later.
