HTTP: SaveWeb Portal SITE_Path Parameter Remote File Inclusion

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote file inclusion vulnerability against SaveWeb Portal. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a target to open a malicious URL link. A successful attack can result in arbitrary code execution and loss of sensitive information.

Extended Description

SaveWeb Portal is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. 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 facilitate a compromise of the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.
