Phorum released some important fixes for the Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities [1]
#=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=#
#=Technical Information=#=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=#
Phorum [2] suffers from a series of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
vulnerabilities, trough the admin panel and the "file uploading" section (with an XML file but it only works
if you are using Mozilla Firefox as browser and a crafted XUL file). Some other vulnerabilities:
[*] Cross-Site Scripting (XSS):
The most simple XSS can be executed easily and the error can be found on the file
"include/admin/banlist.php":
+++include/admin/banlist.php @@ 88:104
88 if($_GET["curr"] && $_GET["delete"]){
89
90 ?>
91
92 <div class="PhorumInfoMessage">
93 Are you sure you want to delete this entry?
94 <form action="<?php echo $PHORUM["admin_http_path"] ?>" method="post">
95 <input type="hidden" name="module" value="<?php echo $module; ?>" />
XXX 96 <input type="hidden" name="curr" value="<?php echo $_GET['curr']; ?>" />
97 <input type="hidden" name="delete" value="1" />
98 <input type="submit" name="confirm" value="Yes" /> <input type="submit"
name="confirm" value="No" />
99 </form>
100 </div>
101
102 <?php
103
104 } else {
---include/admin/banlist.php
The same security flaw can be found in the file "include/admin/banlist.php", line 94, and can be also
exploited with a single GET petition.
Here's another XSS attack but more difficult to be exploited, because you need to modify the user's
cookies to store the vector and redirect him to the "versioncheck.php" file:
+++versioncheck.php @@ 79:83
79 <?php if ($upgrade_available) { ?>
80 <div class="notify_upgrade">
XXX 81 <a target="_top" href="admin.php?module=version">New Phorum version <?php print
$upgrade_available ?> available!</a>
82 </div>
83 <?php } else { ?>
---versioncheck.php
There's another XSS on the file "include/admin/users.php" but it can only be exploited from a POST
request on this lines:
+++include/admin/users.php @@ 87:93
87 //check for a valid email
88 if (!empty($_POST["email"])) {
89 include('./include/email_functions.php');
90 $valid_email = phorum_valid_email($_POST["email"]);
91 if ($valid_email !== true)
XXX 92 $error = "The email \"$_POST[email]\" is not valid!";
93 }
---include/admin/users.php
Also the line 82, on the same file, its vulnerable to the same attack.
In the users.php file there's another vulnerable line, trough the request Referer parameter or
$_POST['referrer'].
+++include/admin/users.php @@ 52:59
52 if (isset($_POST['referrer'])) {
XXX 53 $referrer = $_POST['referrer'];
54 unset($_POST['referrer']);
55 } elseif (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
XXX 56 $referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
57 } else {
58 $rererrer = "{$PHORUM["admin_http_path"]}?module=users";
59 }
---include/admin/users.php
+++include/admin/users.php @@ 659:661
659
XXX 660 $frm->hidden("referrer", $referrer);
661
---include/admin/users.php
A way to fix this can be done using htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() and any other function that
does a sanity check, i.e:
+++
<input type="hidden" name="curr" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_GET['curr'], ENT_QUOTES,
'UTF-8'); ?>" />
---
[*] Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF):
All the forms on the admin panel it's vulnerable to CSRF because of the lack of security tokens to
check if the administrator really wants to do those actions. Without a token an attacker can create
a new user as admin or change the administrator passwords and other personal data. Another type of
action can be done with a simple bbcode [img] tag. When the administrator see the [img] tag with a
special crafted URL, an action, such as delete a topic, could be executed.
A more dangerous attack can lead to JavaScript execution.
