HTTP: XOOPS banners.php Local File Inclusion
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known local file inclusion vulnerability in XOOPS. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in banners.php script. 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
XOOPS is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain potentially sensitive information and to execute arbitrary local scripts in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the computer; other attacks are also possible. XOOPS 2.5.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
