Checks for name parameter arbitrary command execution vulnerability in SimpleBBS Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to an arbitrary command execution vulnerability. Description : The remote host appears to be running SimpleBBS, an open-source bulletin board system written in PHP. The version of SimpleBBS installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'name' parameter of the 'index.php' script when creating a new topic and adds that input to several PHP files. A possible hacker can leverage this flaw to inject arbitrary PHP code into the application and then call one of those files directly to cause that code to be executed on the remote host subject to the rights of the web server user id.

Network Security Threat Level: High / CVSS Base Score : 7.0 (AV:R/AC:L/Au:NR/C:P/I:P/A:P/B:I) Networks Security ID: 15764 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Tenable Network Security |
