Subject: OpenX 2.6.4 multiple vulnerabilities

__________________________________________________________________

   OpenX multiple vulnerabilities
__________________________________________________________________


An advisory by EnableSecurity in collaboration with Acunetix.

Advisory URL:
http://resources.enablesecurity.com/advisories/openx-2.6.4-multiple.txt

Version: OpenX 2.6.4 and older versions

Description:

OpenX is an online advertising web application written in PHP that
supports popular sites such as TechCrunch, SUN Microsystems and
Metacafe.

>>From their website (openx.org):
"OpenX is a free, open source ad server that manages the selling and
delivery of your online advertising inventory. You can get OpenX as a
hosted service or as downloaded software."

Credits:

These vulnerabilities were discovered during testing of AcuSensor
Technology feature in Acunetix WVS.
We worked with the OpenX security team to have these security flaws
reported and fixed.
We would like to publicly thank the OpenX team for their prompt response!

Technical details:

The following vulnerabilities were identified:

Major issues:
  - SQL injection
  - Cross Site Scripting

Other issues:
  - Arbitrary File Deletion
  - CRLF injection



----------- Major issues -----------

::::: SQL vulnerabilities :::::

[[ Trigger: /adview.php ]]

Description:
The cookie "OAID" is not filtered when adview.php is accessed and used
directly to construct the SQL INSERT statement.

[[ Trigger: /www/delivery/tjs.php ]]

Description:
1. The cookie "OAID" is not filtered when adview.php is accessed and
used directly to construct the SQL INSERT statement.
2. The "referer" parameter in the GET request is also used in the SQL
statement and is another vector.



::::: XSS Vulnerabilities :::::

[[ Trigger: /www/admin/sso-accounts.php ]]

Description:
The "email" parameter in the POST data is simply printed out in the
html page, allowing injection of HTML i.e. XSS attacks.

----------- Possible issues -----------


::::: Arbitary file deletion :::::

[[ Trigger: /www/delivery/tjs.php ]]

Reason:
May not be easily exploitable but it does allow directories to be
traversed when deleting cache files.

Exploitation:
It does not seem to be exploitable on Linux, but might be exploitable
on Windows. On Linux the following path would not open:
/etc/../asdf/../passwd because "asdf" does not exist. However the
following works on Windows: C:\asdf\..\boot.ini, even if "asdf" does
not exist.


::::: CRLF Injection :::::

Reason:
It seems that the current version of PHP does not allow headers with
multiple lines, i.e ones that contain the carraige and return line
feed characters. Therefore OpenX does not appear to be exploitable.
However, the code does allow CRLF injection and this may be exposed in
some other way *(eg. old versions of PHP ?).

[[ Trigger: /adframe.php ]]

[[ Trigger: /adjs.php ]]

[[ Trigger: /www/delivery/tjs.php ]]
