bbcode.php

phpbb.com have released a new version of phpbb.
As you can see bbcode.php (<=2.0.14) dont properly sanitize $text

vulnerable code was found by staff from castlecop. Exploit will be publish 5 days later. If you can wait for more, do it yourself

Code:
function bbencode_second_pass($text, $uid)
{
global $lang, $bbcode_tpl;
[b]$text = preg_replace('#(script|about|applet|activex|chrome):#is', "\\1:", $text); //fixed added for phpbb 2.0.15[/b]


From the patch provided from phpbb 2.0.15 , you can figure out how to manipute any phpbb forum. Wink

Patch for code 2.0.15

bold - fixed for 2.0.15

----------------------------------
// [img]image_url_here[/img] code..
// This one gets first-passed..
$patterns[] = "#\[img:$uid\]([^?].*?)\[/img:$uid\]#i";

-----------------------------------

// phpBB code..
$patterns[] = "#\[url=([\w]+?://[^ \"\n\r\t<]*?)\]([^?].*?)\[/url\]#i";
$replacements[] = $bbcode_tpl['url3'];

// phpBB code.. (no xxxx:// prefix).
$patterns[] = "#\[url=((www|ftp)\.[^ \"\n\r\t<]*?)\]([^?].*?)\[/url\]#i";
------------------------------------------

and its has connection to function make_clickable($text)

version 2.0.5 have added code to sanitize those script|about|applet|activex|chrome.

its mean that we can embed those text into [img] [/img] code and fooling user to click them.

You could but a lot of sites need bbcode like book fan sites. They sometimes only reckconise people from there bbcoded sigs. And a lot of sites use the [img] tags a lot. It wouldnt really be far on the users from a end user point of veiw. But a security point of veiw would be to just turn it of or update your forums.

wait please Smile
as usual i didn't understood all...
this bug could lead to XSS if i'm right, and it's caused by the fact that the script doesn't check if in the url are present words like script,applet and so on..
