phpDocumentor <= 1.3.0 RC4 Local And Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 20374

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to file inclusion flaws.

Description

phpDocumentor is a automatic documentation generator for PHP.

The remote host appears to be running the web-interface of phpDocumentor.

This version does not properly sanitize user input in the 'file_dialog.php' file and a test file called 'bug-559668.php' It is possible for an attacker to include remote files and execute arbitrary commands on the remote system, and display the content of sensitive files.

This flaw is exploitable if PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled.

Solution

Disable PHP's 'register_globals' setting.
