phpWebSite: Arbitrary command execution through XML-RPC and SQL injection

phpWebSite: Arbitrary command execution through XML-RPC and SQL injection phpWebSite is vulnerable to multiple issues which result in the execution of arbitrary code and SQL injection. phpwebsite 2005-08-31 2005-08-31 102785 remote 0.10.2_rc2 0.10.2_rc2

phpWebSite is a web site content management system.

phpWebSite uses an XML-RPC library that improperly handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested tags. Furthermore, "matrix_killer" reported that phpWebSite is vulnerable to an SQL injection attack.

A malicious remote user could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially crafted XML document, and also inject SQL commands to access the underlying database directly.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwebsite-0.10.2_rc2"
