Rule Category

FILE-IDENTIFY -- Snort has detecte File Type indicators associated with packet data, which it will use to facilitate a flowbit, a method of stringing rules together. In a flowbit, one rule examines packets for file type indications, which it uses to switch rules pertaining to that file type from a dormant to active state in order to process the appropriate packets. File-type rules stay dormant to prevent alerts on innocent traffic. That same traffic, when contained in, for instance, a .doc file attached to an email, might be a threat and should be scanned.

Rule Vulnerability

Remote File Inclusion

Remote File Inclusion (RFI) attacks occur when a webserver takes a file crafted by an attacker as input and runs or stores it in an unsafe manner. For instance, the webserver could accept an image file that is actually code, then call it to execute after uploading. RFI attacks happen on web applications that dynamically include external files or scripts. A successful RFI can lead to data leaks, remote code execution, or cross site scripting. Avoid dynamic inclusion of user input files, or whitelist files that may be included. Keep the PHP allow_url_include option set to off; this will not protect against Local File Inclusion attacks.
