Joomla! JoomlaWorks AllVideos Plugin 'file' Parameter Directory Traversal

medium Nessus Plugin ID 44689

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of the JoomlaWorks AllVideos plugin for Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'file' parameter before using it in the /plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/download.php script to return the contents of a file. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by prefixing the parameter with directory traversal strings, such as '..\\', to disclose arbitrary files on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user ID.

Solution

Upgrade to JoomlaWorks AllVideos plugin version 3.3 or later.
