WEBInsta CMS index.php templates_dir Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 22206

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running WEBInsta CMS, a content management system written in PHP.

The version of WEBInsta CMS installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'templates_dir' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it to include PHP code. Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' setting, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these flaws to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Upgrade to Webinsta CMS version 0.4.0a or later.
