DOTNETNUKE MULTIPLE VULNERABILITIES
- ------------------------------------------------------
Online URL : http://ferruh.mavituna.com/?429 

1) Source Code & File Access;
Severity : Highly Critical

2) SQL Injection;
Severity : Moderately Critical

3) XSS (Cross Site Scripting);
Severity : Low Critical


- ------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT DOTNETNUKE;
- ------------------------------------------------------
ASP.NET, Open Source Web Portal Application.

URL & Demo & Source Code Download ;
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/


Developer Description;
DotNetNuke ( formerly known as the IBuySpy Workshop ) is an automated
content management system specifically designed to be used in Intranet and
Internet deployments. The Administrator has total control of their web
portal, membership, and has a powerful set of tools to maintain a dynamic
and 100% interactive data-driven web site. 


- ------------------------------------------------------
VULNERABLE;
- ------------------------------------------------------
Any version of DotNetNuke from version 1.0.6 to 1.0.10d 


- ------------------------------------------------------
NOT VULNERABLE;
- ------------------------------------------------------
DotNetNuke 1.0.10e

- ------------------------------------------------------
1) SOURCE CODE & FILE ACCESS;
- ------------------------------------------------------
This one is the biggest problem. Anyone can download files and source codes
with a simple GET request.

Attacker can download "Web.config" and access SQL Server login name and
password. Possible side effect of this if SQL Server running as "sa" user
(and most of developer still use "sa") attacker can simply gain full system
access from remote. 

! Proof of Concept Codes removed because of the possible serious damages.
[Vendor informed with required proof of concepts]

- ------------------------------------------------------
2) SQL INJECTION;
- ------------------------------------------------------
Lots of SQL related actions are vulnerable here, but most of them running as
stored procedure and exploiting is not so easy. Also there is no extra check
for integer fields. 

	------------------------------------------------------
	Description;
	------------------------------------------------------
	In "LinkClick.aspx" page "table" and "field" have no control for SQL
Injections.
	Also some of other SQL related functions have the same problem.


	------------------------------------------------------
	Code;
	------------------------------------------------------
	------------------- LinkClick.aspx -------------------
	' update clicks
	Dim objAdmin As New AdminDB()
	objAdmin.UpdateClicks(Request.Params("table").ToString,
Request.Params("field").ToString,
Integer.Parse(Request.Params("id")), 	UserId)

	------------------- Related Procedure -------------------
	"create procedure UpdateClicks
	select @SQL = 'update ' + @TableName + ' set Clicks = Clicks + 1
where 	' + @KeyField + ' = ' + convert(varchar,@ItemId)"

	------------------------------------------------------
	Solution;
	------------------------------------------------------
	(') single quotes in SQL queries have to be replaced.



- ------------------------------------------------------
3) XSS (Cross Site Scripting);
- ------------------------------------------------------
An attacker can steal active session and by "Remember Login" feature
attacker can login as another user at anytime.

	------------------------------------------------------
	Details;
	------------------------------------------------------
	PAGE : http://dotnetnuke.com/EditModule.aspx?tabid=510&def=Register
