phpSecurePages cfgProgDir Variable File Include Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 18659

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains several PHP scripts that may allow arbitrary code execution and local file disclosure.

Description

The remote host is running phpSecurePages, a PHP module used to secure pages with a login name / password.

The installed version of phpSecurePages allows remote attackers to control the 'cfgProgDir' variable used when including PHP code in several of the application's scripts. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to view arbitrary files on the remote host and execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
