MODx < 2.0.3-pl class_key Parameter Local File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 56564

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a local file inclusion vulnerability.

Description

The version of MODx installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'class_key' parameter of the 'manager/controllers/default/resource/tvs.php' script before using it to include PHP code.

Using a specially crafted request, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this vulnerability to read arbitrary files or execute arbitrary PHP code from the affected host, subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.

Solution

Upgrade to MODx to 2.0.3 or greater.
