phpWebFTP language Parameter Local File Include Vulnerability |
||
|
Tries to read /etc/passwd using phpWebFTP Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a local file include issue. Description : The remote host is running phpWebFTP, a web-based FTP client written in PHP. The version of phpWebFTP installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'language' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it in a PHP 'include()' function. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the rights of the web server user id. Note that successful exploitation of this issue requires that either PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting be disabled or the attacker have the ability to edit files on the remote host.
