OSSIM download.php Directory Traversal

medium Nessus Plugin ID 45082

Language:

Synopsis

An application hosted on the remote web server has a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

The version of OSSIM hosted on the remote host has a directory traversal vulnerability. Input to the 'file' parameter of the 'ossim/repository/download.php' script is not properly sanitized.

A remote attacker could exploit this to download arbitrary files, subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.

This version of OSSIM likely has other vulnerabilities in its web interface, though Nessus has not checked for them.

Solution

Upgrade to OSSIM 2.2.1 or later.
