Hi,

May be I need to check out an ISS/IT forum, but since this is my favorite forum, I thought I would post this and see.

What are the security risks associated with server side includes in ISS in server configuration?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

DJKay

depends on many things;

do you mean server side includes (SSI), or server side scripting (ASP or PHP) using includes?

then there is which server technology? because each combination of OS and webserver brings different issues.

Hi,

Sorry I was not clear. I am asking about Server Side Includes in an Internet Information Server environment.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing inherent with SSI on IIS provided the server is patched up. There can be a limited risk with directory traversal attacks if parent paths are enabled and the file permissions are weak but it is easily fixed and this applies more to scripting than SSI .
