CVE-2006-1819

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Directory traversal vulnerability in the loadConfig function in index.php in phpWebSite 0.10.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to include arbitrary local files and execute arbitrary PHP code via the hub_dir parameter. In some cases, remote file inclusion via SMB share is possible under PHP 5.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can access sensitive system files (e.g., access_log) or execute malicious code, leading to server compromise and data integrity violation.

Recommendation

Immediately update phpWebSite to the latest version and restrict access to the hub_dir parameter by input validation and disabling dangerous PHP features like allow_url_include.
