HAMweather Template.php do_parse_code Function Arbitrary Code Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 22497

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an application that allows execution of arbitrary code.

Description

The remote host is running HAMweather, a weather-forecasting software application.

The installed version of HAMweather fails to properly sanitize input to the 'daysonly' parameter before using it to evaluate PHP or Perl code. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to HAMweather 3.9.8.2 Perl/ASP or HAMweather 3.9.8.5 PHP or later.
