Artica mailattach Parameter Directory Traversal

high Nessus Plugin ID 50325

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a web application that is susceptible to a directory traversal attack.

Description

The installed version of Artica fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'mailattach' parameter of the 'images.listener.php' scrip. By prefixing directory traversal strings such as '../' to the 'mailattach' parameter a remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the remote system.

Although Nessus has not checked for them, the installed version is also likely to be affected by several other vulnerabilities, including information disclosure, cross-site scripting, SQL injection and directory traversal.

Solution

Upgrade to Artica v1.4.092916 or later.
