Hey all, this is a file upload script I had on my site previously, it has been hacked somehow and I can't figure out how! So here's a challenge - someone was able to upload php files.

Code:

<?php

$host_name = "http://upload.gibbocool.com/files/";
$target = "upload/files/";
echo "Files uploaded will be <a href=http://upload.gibbocool.com/files>viewable to the public</a>.<br><br>";

$filename = basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
$file_append = rand(1000,1000000);
$file_basename = substr($filename, 0, strripos($filename, '.')); // strip extention
$file_ext = substr($filename, strripos($filename, '.'));
$filename = $file_basename . $file_append . $file_ext;
$target = $target . $filename;

$ok=1;


$uploaded_type = $_FILES['uploaded']['type'];
$uploaded_size = $_FILES['uploaded']['size'];

//This is our size condition
if ($uploaded_size > 262144000)
{
echo "Your file is too large.<br>";
$ok=0;
}

if ($uploaded_type != "image/jpeg" && $uploaded_type != "image/png" && $uploaded_type != "image/jpeg" && $uploaded_type != "text/plain" && $uploaded_type != "image/pjpeg" && $uploaded_type != "image/gif" && $uploaded_type != "application/zip" && $uploaded_type != "application/gzip" && $uploaded_type != "application/rar" && $uploaded_type != "application/x-msdos-program")
{
if($uploaded_size != "") {
echo "Bad filetype<br>";
$ok=0;
}
}

//Save upload attempts
if($filename != "") {
$ref=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$agent=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$time=date('Y-m-d-G:i:s');

$file = fopen("attempts.txt", "a");
$fstring = "File: $filename Type: $uploaded_type Size: $uploaded_size IP: $ip REF: $ref Agent: $agent Time: $time";
fwrite($file, $fstring);
fwrite($file,"\n");
fclose($file);
}

//Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error
if ($ok==0)
{
echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded";
}

//If everything is ok we try to upload it
else
{
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target))
{

echo "
Upload Successful!

}
else
{
echo "Select a file to upload.";
}

This script is affected by old Apache feature. It appears, that Apache will try to parse files with ".php" in filename as php files, if MIME is unknown to webserver.
Some years ago RAR files were usable, now Apache recognizes them.
Still, pjpeg is unknown to Apache, so:

1. write php script and name it as "1.php.2.pjpeg"
2. upload to the server
3. access via http:

http://localhost/test/1.php.2669917.pjpeg

Heres a quick patch (untested):

Code:
<?php

$host_name = "http://upload.gibbocool.com/files/";
$target = "upload/files/";
echo "Files uploaded will be <a href=http://upload.gibbocool.com/files>viewable to the public</a>.<br><br>";

$filename = basename($_FILES['uploaded']['name']);
$file_append = rand(1000,1000000);
$file_basename = substr($filename, 0, strripos($filename, '.')); // strip extention
//improved ext so it looks at the end
$file_ext = strtolower(end(explode('.',$filename)));
$filename = $file_basename . $file_append . $file_ext;
$target = $target . $filename;

$ok=1;

$uploaded_type = $_FILES['uploaded']['type'];
$uploaded_size = $_FILES['uploaded']['size'];
$uploaded_type = $_FILES['uploaded']['name'];

//This is our size condition
if ($uploaded_size > 262144000)
{
echo "Your file is too large.<br>";
$ok=0;
}

//the allowed extensions - i converted the mime to the actual ext
$allowedExtensions = array('jpg','png','gif', 'txt', 'zip', 'gzip', 'rar', 'dll', 'pjpeg');


//not an allowed extension
if(!in_array($file_ext,$allowedExtensions)){
$ok=0;
}

//no size
if($uploaded_size != "") {
$ok=0;
}

//must not contain .php within filename even if extension is valid

if(preg_match("#.php#i", $uploaded_type)) {
$ok=0;
}

//Save upload attempts
if($filename != "") {
$ref=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$agent=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$time=date('Y-m-d-G:i:s');

$file = fopen("attempts.txt", "a");
$fstring = "File: $filename Type: $uploaded_type Size: $uploaded_size IP: $ip REF: $ref Agent: $agent Time: $time";
fwrite($file, $fstring);
fwrite($file,"\n");
fclose($file);
}

//Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error
if ($ok==0)
{
echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded";
}

//If everything is ok we try to upload it
else
{
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target))
{

echo "

Your check is case sensitive:

Code:

if(preg_match("#.php#", $uploaded_type))


If we use "1.pHp.2.pjpeg", then checking will be passed,
but Apache still parses file as php script.
I have seen solutions, where all dots "." except last one are converted to underscores. This will effectively counteract such vulnerability.

Fixed, updated the code.
