PHP iCalendar Cookie Data Local File Include Vulnerability |
||
|
Tries to read a file using PHP iCalendar Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a local file include flaw. Description : The remote host appears to be running PHP iCalendar, a web-based iCal file viewer / parser written in PHP. The version of PHP iCalendar installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to cookie data normally used to store language and template user preferences before using it in a PHP 'include()' function in 'functions/init.inc.php'. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files and possibly to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected host. Note that successful exploitation of this issue does not depend on the setting of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc'. It does, though, require that an attacker be able to write to files on the remote host, perhaps by injection into the web server's error log.
