Rule: -- Sid: 2342 -- Summary: This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a known vulnerability in the PHP web application DCP-Portal. -- Impact: Execution of arbitrary code on the affected system -- Detailed Information: DCP-Portal contains a flaw such that it may be possible for an attacker to include code of their choosing by manipulating the variable root when making a GET or POST request to a vulnerable system. It may be possible for an attacker to execute that code with the privileges of the user running the webserver, usually root by supplying their code in a file included from an external source by modifying the variable "root" in the editor.php script. -- Affected Systems: DCP-Portal 5.0.1 -- Attack Scenarios: An attacker can make a request to an affected script and define their own path for the root variable. -- Ease of Attack: Simple. No exploit software required. -- False Positives: None known -- False Negatives: None known -- Corrective Action: Apply the appropriate vendor supplied patches Upgrade to the latest non-affected version of the software -- Contributors: Sourcefire Research Team Matt Watchinski <matthew.watchinski@sourcefire.com> Nigel Houghton <nigel.houghton@sourcefire.com> -- Additional References: --
