Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Remote File Inclusion (RFI) in `menu.php`. π **Consequences**: Attackers inject malicious URLs via `functions_file` to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. π₯ **Impact**: Full server compromise.
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
π‘οΈ **CWE**: CWE-94 (Code Injection) / CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation). π **Flaw**: The application fails to sanitize the `functions_file` parameter, allowing external URLs to be included and executed as PHP.
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
π¦ **Product**: phpMyTourney. π **Component**: `menu.php`. β οΈ **Status**: Affected versions are those with this specific file and parameter exposed. Vendor listed as 'n/a'.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π **Privileges**: Remote Code Execution (RCE). π΅οΈ **Data**: Attackers can run any PHP code, potentially leading to data theft, backdoor installation, or complete system control. π« No authentication required.
β **Yes**. π **Exploits**: Public exploits available on Exploit-DB (ID: 4368). π **References**: IBM X-Force, OSVDB, VUPEN advisories confirm active exploitation knowledge.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Check**: Scan for `menu.php` with `functions_file` parameter. π§ͺ **Test**: Inject a URL (e.g., `http://evil.com/shell.txt`) into the parameter.β¦
π§ **Patch**: Vendor is 'n/a', so no official patch exists. π **Date**: Disclosed in 2007. π« **Status**: Legacy vulnerability, likely unmaintained.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π‘οΈ **Workaround**: 1. Remove `menu.php` if unused. 2. Block external URL access via WAF. 3. Disable `allow_url_include` in `php.ini`. 4. Restrict file access via `.htaccess`.
Q10Is it urgent? (Priority Suggestion)
β‘ **Priority**: HIGH for legacy systems. π **Age**: 2007 (Very Old). π― **Risk**: Critical if still running. π **Action**: Patch immediately or isolate the server. Do not ignore due to age.
