----------------------------------------------------------
openSIS <= 5.2 (ajax.php) PHP Code Injection Vulnerability
----------------------------------------------------------
[-] Software Link:
http://www.opensis.com/
[-] Affected Versions:
All versions from 4.5 to 5.2.
[-] Vulnerability Description:
The vulnerable code is located in the /ajax.php script:
86. if(clean_param($_REQUEST['modname'],PARAM_NOTAGS))
87. {
88. if($_REQUEST['_openSIS_PDF']=='true')
89. ob_start();
90. if(strpos($_REQUEST['modname'],'?')!==false)
91. {
92. $vars = substr($_REQUEST['modname'],(strpos($_REQUEST['modname'],'?')+1));
93. $modname = substr($_REQUEST['modname'],0,strpos($_REQUEST['modname'],'?'));
94.
95. $vars = explode('?',$vars);
96. foreach($vars as $code)
97. {
98. $code = decode_unicode_url("\$_REQUEST['".str_replace('=',"']='",$code)."';");
99. eval($code);
100. }
101. }
User input passed through the "modname" request variable is not properly sanitized before being used in
a call to the eval() function at line 99. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
