phpSANE file_save Parameter Remote File Include

high Nessus Plugin ID 40796

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a remote file include vulnerability.

Description

The remote web server is running phpSANE, an open source web-based, front-end to scanners using SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy).

The version of phpSANE installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'file_save' parameter of the 'save.php' script before using it to include PHP code. 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, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
