#
# phpBB password disclosure vuln.
# - rick patel
# 
# There is a sql injection vuln which exists in /viewtopic.php file. The variable is $topic_id
# which gets passed directly to sql server in query. Attacker could pass a special sql string which
# can used to see md5 password hash for any user (!) for phpBB. This pass can be later used with
# autologin or cracked using john. 
#
# Details: 
#
# this is checking done for $topic_id in viewtopic.php:
#
# if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_TOPIC_URL]) )
# {
# $topic_id = intval($HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_TOPIC_URL]);
# }
# else if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['topic']) )
# {
# $topic_id = intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['topic']);
# }
#
# ok... no else statement at end :)
# now if GET[view]=newest and GET[sid] is set, this query gets executed:
#
# $sql = "SELECT p.post_id
# FROM " . POSTS_TABLE . " p, " . SESSIONS_TABLE . " s, " . USERS_TABLE . " u
# WHERE s.session_id = '$session_id'
# AND u.user_id = s.session_user_id
# AND p.topic_id = $topic_id
# AND p.post_time >= u.user_lastvisit
# ORDER BY p.post_time ASC
# LIMIT 1";
#
# $topic_id gets passed directy to query. So how can we use this to do something important? Well
# I decided to use union and create a second query will get us something useful. There were couple of 
# problems i ran into. first, phpBB only cares about the first row returned. second, the select for first
# query is p.post_id which is int, so int becomes the type returned for any other query in union. third,
# there is rest of junk at end " AND p.post_time >= ..." We tell mysql to ignore that by placing /* at end
# of our injected query. So what query can we make that returns only int? 
# this one => select ord(substring(user_password,$index,1)) from phpbb_users where user_id = $uid
# Then all we have to do is query 32 times which $index from 1-32 and we get ord value of all chars of
# md5 hash password. 
#
# I have only tested this with mysql 4 and pgsql . Mysql 3.x does not support unions so you would have to tweak
# the query to do anything useful. 
# 
# This script is for educational purpose only. Please dont use it to do anything else.
