Loudblog < 0.42 template Parameter Traversal

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21024

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that suffers from an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running Loudblog, a PHP application for publishing podcasts and similar media files.

The version of Loudblog installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'template' parameter of the 'index.php' script before returning the contents of the file in a dynamic web page. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the affected system subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

In addition, there reportedly is also a local file include flaw involving the 'language' and 'page' parameters of the 'inc/backend_settings.php'and 'index.php' scripts and a SQL injection flaw involving the 'id' parameter of the 'podcast.php' script, although Nessus has not tested for these other issues.

Successful exploitation of these issues reportedly requires that PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' be disabled.

Solution

Upgrade to Loudblog 0.42 or later.
