JSPWiki Edit.jsp editor Parameter Traversal Local File Inclusion

critical Nessus Plugin ID 57322

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a JSP script that's affected by a local file inclusion vulnerability.

Description

The remote web server hosts JSPWiki, an open source WikiWiki engine built using standard J2EE components.

The installed version of JSPWiki fails to sanitize user input to the 'editor' parameter of the 'Edit.jsp' script of directory traversal sequences before using it to include and execute an arbitrary local JSP file. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this issue to disclose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the affected host, subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.

Note that this install is also likely to be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability, although Nessus has not tested for that.

Solution

Upgrade to JSPWiki 2.6.1 or later as that is reported to address the issue.
