Atomic Photo Album apa_phpinclude.inc.php apa_module_basedir Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 19299

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is vulnerable to a remote file inclusion attack.

Description

The remote host is running Atomic Photo Album, a free, PHP-based photo gallery.

The installed version of Atomic Photo Album allows remote attackers to control the 'apa_module_basedir' variable used when including PHP code in the 'apa_phpinclude.inc.php' script. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to view arbitrary files on the remote host and execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Ensure that PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is enabled and that 'allow_url_fopen' is disabled.
