vCard define.inc.php match Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 20133

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a remote file include vulnerability.

Description

The remote host appears to be running vCard, a web-based electronic postcard application from Belchior Foundry and written in PHP.

The version of vCard installed on the remote host fails to sanitize the 'match' parameter before using it in the 'admin/define.inc.php' script to read other files. By leveraging this flaw, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute script files from third-party hosts.

Solution

Restrict access to the vCard's 'admin' directory using, say, a .htaccess file.
