HTTP: Agora postgres65.txt Cross-Site Include
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Agora, a Web application. Versions 4.1.3 and prior are vulnerable. Attackers can modify a parameter that specifies an include directory to substitute malicious files for existing Web server files.
Extended Description
W-Agora is prone to an issue which may allow an attacker to include arbitrary files located on a remote server. In particular, the 'inc_dir' variable found in a number of the W-Agora scripts defines the path to the configuration file. It is possible, under some configurations, for an attacker to specify an arbitrary value for the location of the configuration file which points to a file on a remote server. If the included file is a PHP script, this may allow for execution of arbitrary attacker-supplied code.
