Onderwerp: PHPNuke viewpage.php allows Remote File retrieving

viewpage.php is a part of PHPNuke.
The Script allows an attacker to view all files on the System.

Example:

http://server.com/viewpage.php?file=/etc/passwd

umm, what version of phpNuke is vulnerable to this? as far as I'm aware,
there has not been any viewpage.php since before 5.0...

I beleive this was reported then as well.

reguardless, this is not true with 6.0

I have the vanilla 6.5 and there is no viewpage.php file in the package
that I can find. Are you sure that this isn't in an addon? Or possibly
left over from a previous version that was never cleared out when phpnuke
was updated?

If you could follow up on this and give more details (versions affected)
etc etc; as it stands I'm gonna confirm that viewpage.php hasn't existed
for quite some time and that this is a pretty pointless advisory.

Thanks,

Not repeatable with 6.0

T=F5nu

I have just checked 5 different 6.5 installs some of which have been
upgraded from previous 6.5 beta's and this file most definattly does not
exist under 6.5

This is NOT a phpnuke file and never has been. It can be traced to
NukeStyles (http://www.nukestyles.com/). See this thread/discussion:
