CVE-2005-2559

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The ePing plugin 1.02 and earlier for e107 portal contains a vulnerability in doping.php that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or overwrite files. The issue stems from improper filtering of the eping_count and eping_host parameters, which are susceptible to shell metacharacter injection.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary system commands on the server or overwrite existing files, leading to complete compromise of the application and potentially the entire server.

Recommendation

Immediately update the ePing plugin to the latest available version or remove it entirely if not essential. Additionally, implement input validation for all parameters and use functions that avoid shell command execution.
