Vendor : phpShop Project  
URL : http://www.phpshop.org  
Version : phpShop 0.6.1-b && Earlier Versions(??)  
Risk : Multiple Vulnerabilities  
  
  
  
Description:  
phpShop is a PHP-based e-commerce application and PHP development framework.   
phpShop offers the basic features needed to run a successful e-commerce web   
site and to extend its capabilities for multiple purposes. phpShop uses a   
nice development framework that allows web developers to easily extend its   
functionality through the use of modules. Its web-box architecture makes it   
easy to understand and work with, while providing powerful function management   
capabilities for your web application needs. It is one of the most popular  
php SQL driven e-commerce solutions available today.  
  
  
  
SQL Injection Vulnerability:  
phpShop is prone to SQL injection when updating a session. The issues can  
be exploited via injection of SQL Commands issued to the "page" variable.   
The same issue is also present when adding an item to the shopping cart via   
the "product_id" variable. While not as serious, the offset variable is also  
prone to SQL Injection. The offset injection is not likely to be exploited.  
  
Below are examples of the vulnerabilities mentioned above.  
  
/?page=[Evil_Query]  
/?page=shop/cart&func=cartAdd&product_id=[Evil_Query]  
/?page=shop/browse&category_id=&offset=[Evil_Query]  
  
It should also be noted that even if an attacker cannot successfully execute a  
malicious query, they can inject code thus allowing for Cross Site Scripting.  
  
  
  
User Information Disclosure Vulnerability:  
It is possible for a user to gain a great deal of information about any customer  
by querying the "account/shipto" module. All that is required is to be logged in  
under a valid account. One can then also view the administrators information. As  
we can see from the below code, there is no check to see if the person querying  
the information belongs to the account he/she queries.  
  
<?php  
if ($user_info_id) {  
$q = "SELECT * from user_info WHERE user_info_id='$user_info_id'";  
$db->query($q);  
$db->next_record();  
}  
?>  
  
Example: /?page=account/shipto&user_info_id=[Valid User ID]   
  
The User ID's usually start around number 18 - 20 So it is easy to guess.An   
attacker can then view the info of any customer. The information includes  
  
Address Nickname, Company Name, Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, Address,  
City, State, Zip Code, Country, Telephone, Fax Number  
  
This is obviously not good and can be useful in aiding an attacker in other  
attacks, such as social engineering, and password enumeration. Not to mention  
it greatly violates the privacy of the customer.  
  
  
  
Script Injection Vulnerability:  
An attacker can input malicious script or HTML into his shipping information.  
This will then be executed by an administrator or shop owner when viewing the  
attackers order. It may be used by an attacker to have an administrator carry  
out commands or execute administrative functions unknowingly.  
  
  
  
Cross Site Scripting:  
Cross Site Scripting in phpShop is just insane. It takes place on almost any and  
every page. This is not an exaggeration either unfortunately. This takes place  
because a large number, if not majority of the variables a user passes to the script  
via the GET method are printed directly to screen using php echo with NO type of  
sanitizing at all. Furthermore, any page you try and visit that you do not have  
access to will allow XSS because ANY variable you pass to the get method will be  
stored in the login form as a hidden field.   
  
/?page=admin/index&GulfTech="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
  
Will allow for Cross Site Scripting, strangely enough. Like I said before, XSS is  
possible on just about every page of phpShop, so I am not going to spend hours   
making a list of hundreds of instances of the XSS vulns, but a handful of examples   
are provided below.  
  
/?page=shop/browse&category_id="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?func="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?login="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=account/shipto&user_info_id="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=shopper/index&module_description="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=shopper/menu&menu_label="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=shopper/menu&shopper_list_mn="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=shopper/menu&modulename="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=shopper/menu&shopper_group_list_mnu="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=shopper/menu&shopper_group_form_mnu="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=vendor/index&module_description="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=vendor/index&menu_label="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=vendor/index&sess="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
/?page=vendor/index&leftbar_title_bgcolor="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>  
  
  
  
Solution:  
The developers were first notified of this issue early in December 2003. Initially we  
kept in touch and exchanged ideas on the best way to resolve these issues. However I  
not heard from the developers in over two weeks. I have tried reaching them via both   
email, and their forum to no avail. I do know that a fix/update is being developed, but  
due to lack of communication I have no idea on the current progress of that. My advice  
to phpShop owners/webmasters is to keep an eye on phpshop.org for a fix. It has been   
in development for roughly a month so I am pretty sure it will be public soon.
