Title: PAJAX Multiple Arbitrary PHP Code Execution Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
PAJAX is a framework that is used to create remote asynchronous PHP objects in JavaScript using XMLHttpRequest.
PAJAX is reported prone to multiple remote PHP code-execution vulnerabilities. These issues may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable computer by executing arbitrary PHP code.
The vulnerabilities exist because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied data. Reportedly, the 'method' and 'args' parameters of the 'pajax_call_dispatcher.php' script can be used to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
The 'className' parameter can be used with directory-traversal sequences to include and execute arbitrary '.class.php' files.
These issues may allow remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable computer in the context of the application.
PAJAX versions 0.5.1 is affected by this issue. Prior versions may be affected as well.
Affected Products:
- PAJAX PAJAX 0.5.1
