Xaraya index.php module Parameter Traversal Arbitrary File/Directory Manipulation

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20372

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a directory traversal flaw.

Description

The version of Xaraya installed on the remote host does not sanitize input to the 'module' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it to write to files on the affected host. Using a specially crafted request, an unauthenticated attacker can create directories and possibly overwrite arbitrary files on the affected host subject to the permissions of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to Xaraya 1.0.1 or later.
