eAccelerator encoder.php File Backup

high Nessus Plugin ID 40349

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that can allow execution of arbitrary code remotely.

Description

The remote web server appears to be using eAccelerator, an open source extension for PHP designed to accelerate, optimize, and cache PHP scripts.

The script 'encoder.php' included with the installation of eAccelerator on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'source' and 'target' parameters before using it to copy files from one location (possibly even a third-party site accessible via FTP or SMB) to another. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to disclose sensitive information, overwrite important files, or even execute arbitrary code, all subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
