Plume CMS < 1.0.3 Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 20972

Synopsis

The remote host is running a PHP application that is prone to local and remote file inclusion attacks.

Description

The system is running Plume CMS a simple but powerful content management system.

The version installed does not sanitize user input in the '_PX_config[manager_path]' parameter in the 'prepend.php' file.
This allows an attacker to include arbitrary files and execute code on the system.

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

Solution

Either sanitize the prepend.php file as advised by the developer (see first URL) or upgrade to Plume CMS version 1.0.3 or later.
