Open Conference System < 1.1.6 Multiple Script fullpath Parameter Remote File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 22874

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by remote file include issues.

Description

The remote host is using Open Conference System, a PHP application for managing scholarly conference websites.

The version of Open Conference System installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'fullpath' parameter before using it to include PHP code in the 'include/theme.inc.php' and 'footer.inc.php' scripts. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these issues to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to Open Conference System 1.1.6 or later.
