SPiD lang.php lang_path Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18671

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a remote file include issue.

Description

The remote host is running SPiD, a free, PHP-based photo gallery.

The installed version of SPiD allows remote attackers to control the 'lang_path' variable used when including PHP code in the 'lang/lang.php' script. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Either ensure that PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is enabled and that 'allow_url_fopen' and 'register_globals' are disabled or upgrade to SPiD version 1.3.1.
