Title: xml2owl 'showCode.php' Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
The 'xml2owl' program is a PHP-based web application that converts Extensible Markup Language (XML) files to WebOntology Language (OWL) files.
The software is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary PHP commands.
This issue affects the 'path' parameter of the 'showCode.php' script. The value of the 'path' parameter is directly supplied as an argument to a call to the PHP 'shell_exec()' function.
An attacker may leverage this issue to run arbitrary PHP commands with the privileges of the server process. This can compromise the application and possibly the underlying server.
This issue affects xml2owl 0.1.1; other versions may be vulnerable as well.
Affected Products:
- xml2owl xml2owl 0.1.1
