phpwcms spaw_control.class.php spaw_root Parameter Remote File Inclusion

low Nessus Plugin ID 21582

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running phpwcms, an open source content management system written in PHP.

The version of phpwcms installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'spaw_root' parameter before using it in PHP include() functions in the 'include/inc_ext/spaw/spaw_control.class.php' script. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this flaw to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
