Limbo CMS index.php Itemid Parameter Arbitrary Command Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 20994

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running Limbo CMS, a content-management system written in PHP.

The installed version of Limbo fails to sanitize input to the 'Itemid' parameter before using it as part of a search string in an 'eval()' statement in the 'classes/adodbt/read_table.php' script. Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' and 'magic_quotes_gpc' settings, an unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Apply the Limbo security patch update from 2006-03-09.
