medium Nessus Plugin ID 70496

Synopsis

A web application on the remote web server has multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of AjaXplorer hosted on the remote web server is earlier than 5.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by the following two vulnerabilities in the 'filemanagers/ajaxplorer/index.php' script:

- A directory traversal vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to view files outside of the website's root directory.

- Arbitrary files could be uploaded by an attacker because user input is not properly sanitized.

Solution

Upgrade to AjaXplorer version 5.0.3 or later.
