XOOPS Multiple Modules spaw_control.class.php spaw_root Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 25372

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a remote file include vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a third-party module for XOOPS.

The version of at least one such module installed on the remote host includes a copy of the SPAW PHP WYSIWYG editor control that fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'spaw_root' parameter of the 'spaw_control.class.php' script before using it to include PHP code. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or possibly to execute arbitrary PHP code, perhaps from third-party hosts.

Solution

Disable PHP's 'register_globals' setting or contact the product's author to see if an upgrade exists.
