Loudblog loudblog/inc/parse_old.php template Parameter Arbitrary Remote Code Execution

medium Nessus Plugin ID 29869

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that allows arbitrary command execution.

Description

The remote host is running Loudblog, a PHP application for publishing podcasts and similar media files.

The version of Loudblog on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'template' parameter of the 'loudblog/inc/parse_old.php' script before using it in an 'eval()' statement to evaluate PHP code. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
