phpBannerExchange Template Class Local File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21153

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a local file include flaw.

Description

The remote host is running phpBannerExchange, a banner exchange script written in PHP.

The version of phpBannerExchange installed on the remote host uses a template class that fails to sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a PHP 'include()' function. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files and possibly to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected system subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
