w-Agora inc_dir Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 21739

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to remote file include attacks.

Description

The remote host is running w-Agora, a web-based forum software written in PHP.

The version of w-Agora installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'inc_dir' parameter before using it in several scripts to include PHP code. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is disabled, 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.
