Plesk Multiple Script locale_id Parameter Traversal Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 25090

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to a directory traversal attack.

Description

The remote host is running Plesk, a control panel used to administer and manage websites.

The version of Plesk installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'locale_id' parameter of the 'login.php3', 'login_up.php', and 'top.php3' scripts before using it to access files. On a Windows platform, an unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to read the contents of arbitrary files on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

See the vendor's website for patch information.
