Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of the 'A Page Flip Book' plugin for WordPress installed on the remote host is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'pageflipbook_language' parameter in the pageflipbook.php script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files or execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host.

Note that successful exploitation of this issue has resulted in a persistent change to the site. To undo this change, reset the language option for the plugin in the WordPress admin panel.

Solution
