PAJAX < 0.5.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Tries to execute code using PAJAX Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP script that is susceptible to multiple issues. Description : The remote host is running PAJAX, a PHP library for remote asynchronous objects in Javascript. The version of PAJAX installed on the remote host fails to validate input to the 'pajax/pajax_call_dispatcher.php' script before using it in a PHP 'eval()' function. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary command on the remote host subject to the rights of the web server user id. In addition, the application also reportedly fails to validate input to classnames before using it in a PHP 'require()' function in 'Pajax.class.php', which permits for local file include attacks.
