high Nessus Plugin ID 18563

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI script that allows arbitrary command execution.

Description

The remote host is running K-COLLECT csv-database, a web application written in perl.

The remote version of this software fails to sanitize user input to the 'file' parameter of the 'csv_db.cgi' script before using it to run a shell command. An unauthenticated can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.

Solution

Remove this script.
