phpLDAPadmin cmd.php cmd Parameter Local File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 43402

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of phpLDAPadmin installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'cmd' parameter when passed to the 'cmd.php' script before using it to include PHP code.

Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' and 'magic_quotes_gpc' settings, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to view arbitrary files or possibly to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.2.0 or later.
