Vulnerability Assessment Details

phpAdsNew / phpPgAds < 2.0.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for multiple vulnerabilities in phpAdsNew / phpPgAds < 2.0.6

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by
multiple vulnerabilities.

Description :

The remote host is running phpAdsNew / phpPgAds, an open-source banner
ad server.

The version of phpAdsNews / phpPgAds installed on the remote host
suffers from several flaws :

- Remote PHP Code Injection Vulnerability
The XML-RPC library bundled with the application permits
a possible hacker to inject arbitrary PHP code via the
'adxmlrpc.php' script to be executed within the context
of the affected web server user id.

- Multiple Local File Include Vulnerabilities
The application fails to sanitize user-supplied input to
the 'layerstyle' parameter of the 'adlayer.php' script and
the 'language' parameter of the 'admin/js-form.php' script
before using them to include PHP files for execution. An
attacker can exploit these issues to read arbitrary local
files provided PHP's 'magic_quotes' directive is disabled.

- SQL Injection Vulnerability
A possible hacker can manipulate SQL queries via input to the
'clientid' parameter of the 'libraries/lib-view-direct.inc.php'
script.
