Title: RETIRED: MyBloggie Mybloggie_Root_Path Parameter Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

MyBloggie is a web-log application implemented in PHP.

MyBloggie is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. These issues affect the 'mybloggie_root_path' parameter of the following scripts:

- index.php
- db.php

An attacker can exploit these issues to include an arbitrary remote file containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.

MyBloggie 2.1.3 and earlier are vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.

Update: Reports indicate that this is not a vulnerability because 'mybloggie_root_path' is defined as './' prior to its use in the vulnerable scripts. Therefore this BID is retired.

Affected Products:

  • myBloggie myBloggie 2.1.1
  • myBloggie myBloggie 2.1.2
  • myBloggie myBloggie 2.1.3
  • myBloggie myBloggie 2.1.3 Beta
