GuppY inc/includes.inc selskin Parameter Traversal Local File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 27620

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to local and remote file include attacks.

Description

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

The version of GuppY installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user input to the 'selskin' parameter before using it to include PHP code. Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' setting, an unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Note that successful exploitation of the remote file include issue requires that PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting be disabled.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
