Floating Social Media Links Plugin for WordPress 'wpp' Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 64243

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The Floating Social Media Links Plugin for WordPress installed on the remote host is affected by a remote file inclusion vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'wpp' parameter of the 'fsml-hideshow.js.php' script. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to view arbitrary files or execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts, on the remote host.

Note that the install is likely to have a similar vulnerability involving the 'fsml-admin.js.php' script, although Nessus has not checked for that issue.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.4.3 or later.
