high Nessus Plugin ID 31608
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to remote file include attacks.Description
The remote host is running PHPAuction, a PHP script for building auction websites.The version of PHPAuction installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'include_path' parameter of several scripts before using it to include PHP code. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can 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 while successful exploitation requires PHP's 'register_globals' setting to be enabled, the application will not work if that setting is disabled.
