Stadtaus Gaestebuch-Script index.php include_files Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21339

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by remote file include issues.

Description

The remote host is running Stadtaus Gaestebuch-Script, a free guestbook written in PHP.

The version of Gaestebuch-Script installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'include_files' array parameter before using it in a PHP 'include()' function in various scripts. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Note that the application must be running under PHP 5 for an attacker to take code from third-party hosts.

Solution

Upgrade to Gaestebuch-Script 1.9 or later.
