PunBB include/common.php language Parameter Local File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 22932

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a local file include issue.

Description

The version of PunBB installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'language' parameter before storing it in the 'register.php' script as a user's preferred language setting. By registering with a specially crafted value, an attacker can leverage this issue to view arbitrary files and possibly execute arbitrary code on the affected host.

Solution

Update to version 1.2.14 or later.
