OpenX fc.php MAX_type Parameter Traversal Local File Inclusion
high Nessus Plugin ID 35557
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP script that is susceptible to a local file include attack.Description
The remote host is running OpenX (formerly Openads), an open source ad serving application written in PHP.The installed version of OpenX does not validate user-supplied input to the 'MAX_type' parameter of the 'www/delivery/fc.php' script before using it in a PHP 'include()' function. Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' setting, an unauthenticated 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.
Solution
Upgrade to OpenX version 2.6.4 / 2.4.10 or later.See Also
