-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ppp-design found the following cross-site-scripting-bug in phpGB: Details - ------- Product: phpGB Affected Version: 1.10 and maybe all versions before Immune Version: 1.20 OS affected: all OS with php Vendor-URL: http://www.walzl.net Vendor-Status: informed, new version avaiable Security-Risk: high Remote-Exploit: Yes Introduction - ------------ phpGB ist a php/mysql based guestbook. Unfortunately no input is been filtered for malicious code segments. That leads to the possibility of a cross-site-scripting attack. More details - ------------ A possible blackhat is able to insert eg. javascript code into the guestbook entry. When an admin tries to delete this entry the script will be executed. So the attacke is able to eg. get the session id and enter the admin area without being authenticated. Proof-of-concept - ---------------- Enter the following guestbookentry: "delete me <script>alert(document.cookie)</script>" When an admin tries to delete this entry, a popup showing his session id will come up. Of course it is quite easy to submit this session id to blackhat's server instead of showing this popup. Temporary-fix - ------------- Filter all inputs for unwanted code segments like html or javascript code. Fix - --- phpGB 1.2 filters all inputs. Security-Risk - ------------- Because after a successfull attack an attacker is able to do anything an admin can do, the whole guestbook shall be deemed to be compromised. That is why we are rating the risk to high. Vendor status - ------------- The author had fixed this bug allready, when we informed him.
