Wordtrans-web exec_wordtrans Function Arbitrary Command Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 33391

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that allows arbitrary command execution.

Description

The remote host is running wordtrans-web, a web-based front-end for wordtrans, for translating words.

The version of wordtrans-web installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'advanced' parameter of the 'wordtrans.php' script before using it in an 'passthru()' statement to execute PHP code. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
