######################################################## # Special Greetings To - Timq,Warpboy,The-Maggot # ######################################################## File: index.php Affects: LS simple guestbook (v1) Date: 15th April 2007 Issue Description: ======================================================================== === LS simple guestbook fails to sanitize user input that it writes to the posts.txt file when the user leaves a message, this file is then included causing any php code within it to be run. ======================================================================== === Scope: ======================================================================== === An attacker can inject arbitrary php code and potentially execute commands on the system. ======================================================================== === Recommendation: ======================================================================== === Add the following line of code in index.php: $message = strip_tags($message); just above: if ($message != "") {$file = fopen("$dataf","a"); ======================================================================== === Example: name = Test message = <?php phpinfo(); ?> Discovered By: Gammarays
