ionCube loader-wizard.php Remote Information Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 73331

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP script that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The ionCube 'loader-wizard.php' script hosted on the remote web server is affected by a remote information disclosure vulnerability because the script fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'ininame' parameter. An attacker could potentially leverage this to view arbitrary files by forming a request containing directory traversal sequences.

Note that the 'loader-wizard.php' script is also reportedly affected by additional information disclosure issues as well as a cross-site scripting vulnerability; however, Nessus has not tested for these additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade to version 2.46 or later and remove access to or remove the 'loader-wizard.php' script.
