Looking Glass Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 19523
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple issues.Description
The remote host appears to be running Jurriaan de Neef's Looking Glass script, which provides a web interface to various network utilities such as ping, traceroute, and whois.The installed version of Looking Glass suffers from a flaw that allows an attacker, by manipulating input to the 'target' parameter of the 'lp.php' script, to execute commands on the remote host subject to the permissions of the web server user id. In addition, it also is prone to cross-site scripting attacks due to its failure to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'version' parameter of the 'header.php' and 'footer.php' scripts.
