Debian DSA-2510-1 : extplorer - Cross-site request forgery

medium Nessus Plugin ID 59961

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

John Leitch has discovered a vulnerability in eXtplorer, a very feature rich web server file manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request.
This can be exploited for example, to create an administrative user account by tricking an logged administrator to visiting an attacker-defined web link.

Solution

Upgrade the extplorer packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.0b6+dfsg.2-1+squeeze1.
