Siteframe siteframe.php LOCAL_PATH Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 18460

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a remote file include attack.

Description

The remote host is running Siteframe, an open source content management system using PHP and MySQL.

The installed version of Siteframe does not properly sanitize the 'LOCAL_PATH' parameter of the 'siteframe.php' script before using it to include files. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker is able to view arbitrary files on the remote host and even execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Patch 'siteframe.php' as suggested in the project document referenced above.
