Scriptegrator Plugin for Joomla! 'files[]' Parameter Remote File Include

critical Nessus Plugin ID 44674

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a remote file include vulnerability.

Description

The version of the Core Design Scriptegrator plugin for Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by a remote file include vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'files[]' parameter before using it in the cdscriptegrator/libraries/highslide/js/jsloader.php script to include PHP code. Regardless of the PHP 'register_globals' setting, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to disclose arbitrary files or execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user ID.

Solution

Upgrade to Scriptegrator version 1.4.2 or later.
