Basilix Webmail tmp Directory Permission Weakness Attachment Disclosure

low Nessus Plugin ID 14306

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a series of PHP scripts that are prone to information disclosure.

Description

The remote host appears to be running a BasiliX version 1.1.0 or lower. Such versions save attachments by default under '/tmp/BasiliX', which is world-readable and apparently never emptied by BasiliX itself. As a result, anyone with shell access on the affected system or who can place CGI files on it can access attachments uploaded to BasiliX.

Solution

Upgrade to BasiliX version 1.1.1 or later.
