TITLE: Joomla 1.5.12 connect back exploit
AUTHOR: Nikola Petrov ([email protected])
VERSION: 1.0
LICENSE: GNU General Public License
Platform: Joomla 1.5.12
Vulnerabilities discovery and implementation: Nikola Petrov ([email protected])
Date: 27.08.2009
Joomla 1.5.12 suffers from different kinds of vulnerabilities:
- path disclosure
- unauthorized file upload
- local file inclusion
I heard of unauthorized file upload in Joomla 1.5.12 and I decided to make some research on the topic. Soon after
that I found two more vulnerabilities - path disclosure and local file inclusion. Maybe there are more vulnerabilities
but these are enough to get a connection back from the server.
Path disclosure: joomla/libraries/joomla/client/ldap.php
Unauthorized file upload: joomla/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tinybrowser/upload.php (upload_file.php)
Local file inclusion: joomla/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tinybrowser/folders.php
Here is the LFI vulnerability:
-- snip-snip: folders.php --
<?php
require_once('config_tinybrowser.php');
// Set language
if(isset($tinybrowser['language']) && file_exists('langs/'.$tinybrowser['language'].'.php')) {
require_once('langs/'.$tinybrowser['language'].'.php');
}
else {
require_once('langs/en.php'); // Falls back to English
}
...
