SnortReport nmap.php target Parameter Arbitrary Command Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 49088

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that allows execution of arbitrary commands.

Description

The remote web server hosts SnortReport, an add-on module for Snort.

The version of this application installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'target' parameter of the 'nmap.php' script before using it in a call to the PHP 'exec()' function.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
