UBB.threads thispath Parameter Remote File Include Vulnerability |
||
|
Tries to read a local file using UBB.threads Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to remote file inclusion attacks. Description : The version of UBB.threads installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'thispath' parameter before using it in a PHP include() function in the 'addpost_newpoll.php' script. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this flaw to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Network Security Threat Level: Medium / CVSS Base Score : 6 (AV:R/AC:H/Au:NR/C:P/A:P/I:P/B:N) Networks Security ID: 18075 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2006 Tenable Network Security |
