high Nessus Plugin ID 11931

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is hosting a CGI application that is affected by a remote file inclusion vulnerability.

Description

The remote web server is hosting the 'my_egallery' PostNuke module. The installed version is potentially affected by a remote file include vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize input to include include statements.

An attacker may use this flaw to execute arbitrary code in the remote host and gain a shell with the privileges of the web server.

Solution

Upgrade to My_eGallery 3.1.1g or later as this reportedly fixes the issue.
