medium Nessus Plugin ID 34169
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by several local file include vulnerabilities.Description
The remote host is running pluck, a simple content management system written in PHP.The version of pluck installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to several parameters before using it in 'data/inc/themes/predefined_variables.php' or 'data/inc/blog_include_react.php' to include PHP code. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files or possibly to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.
Note that exploitation of these issues will only be successful if the underlying operating system accepts a backslash as a path separator, such as Windows.
Solution
Upgrade to pluck 4.5.3.See Also
