EZPhotoSales Multiple Configuration Files Remote Information Disclosure

high Nessus Plugin ID 25899

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running EZPhotoSales, a web-based photo gallery application for photographers written in PHP.

The version of EZPhotoSales installed on the remote host fails to restrict access to configuration files used by the application. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to obtain sensitive information about the affected application, possibly enabling him to gain administrative control, which in turn could lead to arbitrary code execution on the affected host, cross-site scripting attacks against visitors, and the like.

Solution

Either upgrade to EZPhotoSales 1.9.4 or later, apply the vendor's patch, or limit access to the application's configuration files using, say, a .htaccess file.
