PHP iCalendar Multiple Script Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20867

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to remote file inclusion attacks.

Description

The remote host appears to be running PHP iCalendar, a web-based iCal file viewer / parser written in PHP.

The installed version of PHP iCalendar fails to validate user input to the 'getdate' parameter of the 'search.php' script as well as the 'file' parameter of 'template.php' script. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can leverage these flaws to view arbitrary files on the remote host and execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Disable PHP's 'register_globals' setting or modify the code as described in the advisory above.
