XoopsGallery init_basic.php GALLERY_BASEDIR Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 29870

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running XoopsGallery, a third-party module for Xoops.

The version of XoopsGallery installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'GALLERY_BASEDIR' parameter of the 'modules/xoopsgallery/init_basic.php' script before using it to include PHP code. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is off, an unauthenticated, remote 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.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
