Trouble Ticket Express fid Parameter Arbitrary Remote Code Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 45083

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI application that allows arbitrary command execution.

Description

The remote host is running Trouble Ticket Express, an open source web-based trouble ticket application written in Perl.

At least one module included with the version of Trouble Ticket Express hosted on the remote web server fails to sanitize input to the 'fid' parameter of the 'ttx.cgi' script before using it in an 'open()' statement.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary commands subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.

Solution

Update to revision 759 of TTXFile.pm / revision 765 of TTXImage.pm.
