Zen Cart autoload_func.php autoLoadConfig Array Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22234

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Zen Cart installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'autoLoadConfig' array parameter before using it in 'includes/autoload_func.php' to include PHP code. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these flaws to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Apply the security patches listed in the vendor advisory.
