IlohaMail Configuration Scripts Remote Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 16161

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is running a webmail application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running Ilohamail, a web-based mail interface written in PHP.

The remote installation of this software is not configured properly, in the sense that it allows any user to download its configuration files by requesting the '/conf/conf.inc' or '/conf/custom_auth.inc' file. The content of these files may contain sensitive information which may help an attacker to organize better attacks against the remote host.

Solution

Prevent the download of .inc files at the web server level.
