Blogging About The WebspotBlogging Vulnerability

Reading blogs is great because you are able to obtain different perspectives on things. What is even better than reading other peoples blogs is creating your own blog and updating it on a regular basis. If you operating your own business it may prove useful to create a blog or news page for your site, as it could potentially draw in additional business. That being said, today I am here to alert you about a vulnerability that has been reported in WebspotBlogging.

The vulnerability is known as the PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability. This vulnerability gives malicious characters the opportunity to execute arbitrary PHP code, through a URL which exists in the path parameter to the following:

1. inc/logincheck.inc.php
2. inc/adminheader.inc.php
3. inc/global.php,
4. inc/mainheader.inc.php

If you have not been fortunate enough to use WebspotBlogging, then I would like to shed some light on some of its fantastic aspects. WebspotBlogging is actually an open source script, which you can use in order to create a new page or blog for your website. WebspotBlogging is very user friendly and fast, which could be due to the factor that it is MYSQL as well as PHP based. It has some remarkable features to offer its users, which makes it a completely worthwhile download for everyone. It is compatible with all operating systems including Windows Vista. Some of the files of Windows Vista may include but are not limited to the following: actionqueue.dll, bootsect.exe, cableinst.exe, dhcpsrvmigplugin.dll, etfsboot.com as well as fveupg.dll.

The file inclusion vulnerability runs the risk of being exploited by malicious characters in order to compromise a users machine and execute arbitrary PHP code. The code could be extracted from files from external resources or alternatively from local resources.

This vulnerability has been rated as highly critical and the impact of its exploitation include obtaining system access without the authorization that is normally required. The question that you may all be asking is, what is the solution to this terrifying vulnerability? The solution to this vulnerability is for users to edit the source code in order to ensure that the input is adequately verified. It would obviously prove beneficial for users to know which versions have been affected, therefore, be informed that the vulnerability affects version 3.01.
