Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in al_initialize.php for AutoLinks Pro 2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via an 'ftp://' URL in the alpath parameter, which bypasses the incomplete blacklist that only checks for 'http' and 'https' URLs.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over the web server by executing arbitrary PHP code, leading to data theft, content modification, or further attack propagation.

Recommendation

Immediately update AutoLinks Pro to the latest version or apply a security patch. If no update is available, remove or disable the al_initialize.php file and implement WAF rules to block parameters containing 'ftp://'.
