Feedsplitter <= 2006-01-21 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities (XSS, Traversal, Disc)

high Nessus Plugin ID 22295

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running Feedsplitter, a PHP script for converting RSS / RDF feeds into HTML.

The version of Feedsplitter installed on the remote host fails to properly validate the 'format' parameter of the 'feedsplitter.php' script before using it to parse an arbitrary XML file. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this to discover the contents of XML files or potentially even execute arbitrary PHP code.

In addition, the application can optionally disclose the source of feeds and may allow for arbitrary PHP code execution through the use of a malicious feed.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
