SiteBuilder-FX admindir Parameter Remote File Include Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to read a local file using SiteBuilder-FX

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to a
remote file include attack.

Description :

The remote host is running SiteBuilder-FX, a web-based design system
written in PHP.

The version of SiteBuilder-FX installed on the remote host fails to
sanitize input to the 'admindir' parameter of the 'admin/top.php'
script before using it to include PHP code. Regardless of the setting
of PHP's 'register_globals', an unauthenticated attacker may be able
to exploit these flaws to view arbitrary files on the remote host or
to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution :

Unknown at this time.

Network Security Threat Level:

Medium / CVSS Base Score : 5.6
