• Software Link:
http://www.openwebanalytics.com/
• Affected Versions:
All versions from 1.2.2 to 1.5.6.
• Vulnerability Description:
The vulnerable code is located in the /queue.php script:
40
41
42
43
44
45
46
47
48
49
50
$owa->setSetting('base', 'is_remote_event_queue', true);
$owa->e->debug($_POST);
$raw_event = owa_coreAPI::getRequestParam('event');
if ( $raw_event ) {
$dispatch = owa_coreAPI::getEventDispatch();
$event = unserialize( base64_decode( $raw_event ) );
$owa->e->debug(print_r($event,true));
$dispatch->asyncNotify($event);
}
Input passed through the “owa_event” POST parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a call to the unserialize() function at line 47. This could be exploited to change certain configuration options or create a file containing arbitrary PHP code via specially crafted serialized objects.
