Title: PHP-Address Remote File Include Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

PHP-Address is an open-source web-based address database written in PHP.

PHP-Address is prone to an issue which may allow remote attackers to include arbitrary files located on remote servers. This issue is present in the 'globals.php3' script. An attacker may exploit this by supplying a path to a file on a remote host as a value for the 'LangCookie' parameter.

If the remote file is a PHP script, this may allow for execution of attacker-supplied PHP code with the privileges of the webserver. Successful exploitation may provide local access to the attacker.

Affected Products:

  • PHP-Address PHP-Address 0.2.0e
