Coppermine Photo Gallery showdoc.php f Parameter Local File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20984

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The installed version of Coppermine Photo Gallery fails to sanitize user input to the 'f' parameter in the 'docs/showdoc.php' script before using it in a PHP 'include()' function. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this flaw to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Note that successful exploitation either requires that the remote host be running Windows or that it have some type of Samba share.

Solution

Patch the affected script as recommended in the vendor advisory referenced above.
