ModernBill 4.3.0 and older Multiple Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for multiple vulnerabilities in ModernBill 4.3.0 and older

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that suffers from
multiple vulnerabilities.

Description :

The version of ModernBill installed on the remote host is subject to
multiple vulnerabilities :

- A Remote File Include Vulnerability
The application fails to sanitize the parameter 'DIR' before
using it in the script 'news.php'. A possible hacker can exploit
this flaw to browse or execute arbitrary files on the remote
host. Further, if PHP's 'permit_url_fopen' setting is enabled,
files to be executed can even come from a web server
under the attacker's control.

- Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
A possible hacker can inject arbitrary HTML and script code via the
parameters 'c_code' and 'aid' in the script 'orderwiz.php' in
order to steal cookie-based authentication credentials for
the remote host or launch other such attacks.
