Jaws language Parameter Multiple Local File Includes

high Nessus Plugin ID 35610

Synopsis

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

Description

Jaws, a Framework and Content Management System for building dynamic websites, is installed on the remote system.

The installed version fails to filter input to the 'language' parameter before using it to include PHP code in '/upgrade/index.php' and '/install/index.php'. Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' and 'magic_quotes_gpc' settings, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit these issues 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

Unknown at this time.
