ZRCSA-200502 - phpAdsNew SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Zone-H Research Center Security Advisory 200502 http://www.zone-h.fr Date of release: 11/11/2005 Software: phpAdsNew (www.phpadsnew.com) Affected versions: <= 2.0.6 2.0.7rc1 (latest CVS snapshot) Risk: Medium Discovered by: Kevin Fernandez "Siegfried" from the Zone-H Research Team Background (from their web site) ---------- phpAdsNew is an open-source ad server, with an integrated banner management interface and tracking system for gathering statistics. With phpAdsNew you can easily rotate paid banners and your own in-house advertisements. You can even integrate banners from third party advertising companies. Details -------- Toni Koivunen has published an advisory yesterday regarding a vulnerability exploitable via /admin/logout.php, that can be used to delete arbitrary data (maybe more). However more sql injections are present in this part of the code, all the functions in /admin/lib-sessions.inc.php do not check the "sessionID" variable coming from the cookie, the most interesting is phpAds_SessionDataFetch() because it is called in config.php and makes a simple SELECT query. Snip: [no previous check] if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessionID']) && $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessionID'] != '') { $result = phpAds_dbQuery("SELECT sessiondata FROM ".$phpAds_config['tbl_session']." WHERE sessionid='".$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessionID']."'" . " AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW())-UNIX_TIMESTAMP(lastused) < 3600"); <-- ouch Since /admin/config.php is included in /admin/index.php, we don't need to be authenticated to exploit the vulnerability. PoC (cookie): sessionID=adsds'/**/UNION/**/SELECT admin_pw from phpads_config into outfile "/var/www/blah.txt"/*; Just "exploit" one of the many errors in the pages to get the path and here you go, open /admin/index.php with that as cookie. Solution --------- No patch. Filter the variable in the affected functions.
