*0day XSS Exploit for Wordpress 2.3* – wp-slimstat 0.92 – [xssworm.com]

Source:
http://xssworm.blogvis.com/13/xssworm/0day-inject-exploit-for-wordpress-23-xsswormcom-all-version-vulnerable-with-no-patch/

There is a serious holes in wordpress 2.3 that can be used with XSS by a
blackhat hacker to attack the wordpress administrator and steal cookies from
blogmins. This attack is known as 0day because it has just been reported to
public and this is first day of public vulnerability, and *0day means
'published.*'
Proof of concept:

http://wordpress-web-blog.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=wp-slimstat/wp-slimstat.php?panel=1&fi=/feed/&ff=1&ft=<xss
shellcode>

This attack to be used against wordpress web blog blogmin to steal
blogosphere token to hack blogs. Of course we have included exploit code for
this bug at the below.

We have looked at coding for wp-slimstat but we cannot see any problem with
input validating. Maybe some of the xssworm.com readers can show us where
problem is in the php code because we cannot see any porblem here:

–snips:

C:\temp>findstr GET wp-slimstat.php
$myFilterField = intval( $_GET['ff'] );
$myFilterType = intval( $_GET['ft'] );
$myFilterString = $_GET['fi'];
$myFilterInterval = $_GET['fd'];
$myFilterField = intval( $_GET['ff'] );
$myFilterType = intval( $_GET['ft'] );
$myFilterString = $_GET['fi'];
$myFilterInterval = $_GET['fd'];
'.(!empty($myFilterString)?'— <a
href="?page='.$_GET['page'].'&panel='.$_GET["panel"].'">'.__('Reset
filters', 'wp-slimstat').'</a>':").'
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="'.$_GET['page'].'" />
<input type="hidden" name="panel" value="'.$_GET["panel"].'" />
<input type="hidden" name="fd" value="'.$_GET["fd"].'" /></form>';

–snips

With programmor using $_GET variable from user into echo into html output
maybe php automatic GET validation filtering is not working for security? We
are not programmers of php so we cannot see any porblems here as bug are too
complex to understand.

Exploit code for perl whitehats included here:
