BlueShoes lib/googlesearch/GoogleSearch.php APP[path][lib] Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22541

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a remote file include issue.

Description

The remote host is using BlueShoes, an application framework and content management system written in PHP.

The version of BlueShoes installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'APP[path][lib]' parameter before using it to include PHP code in the 'lib/googlesearch/GoogleSearch.php' script. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
