ATutor < 1.5.1-pl1 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities (XSS, RFI, Command Exe)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20095

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running ATutor, an open source, web-based Learning Content Management System (LCMS) written in PHP.

The version of ATutor installed on the remote host may be vulnerable to arbitrary command execution, arbitrary file access, and cross-site scripting attacks. Successful exploitation of the first two issues requires that PHP's 'register_globals' setting be enabled and, in some cases, that 'magic_quotes_gpc' be disabled.

Solution

Apply patch 1.5.1-pl1 or upgrade to version 1.5.2 or later.
