Technical Details & Description:
================================
A SQL Injection vulnerability is detected in GENU CMS 2012.3.
The vulnerability allows an attacker (remote) or local low privileged user account to inject/execute own sql commands
on the affected application dbms. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in dbms & application compromise.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] posts/search.php
[+] news/search.php
[+] comments/search.php
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The sql injection vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ...
Word in 'search' must consist of at least two characters
PoC:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/GENU/news/search.php?search=xd&match=`news_subject[SQL-Injection]
http://127.0.0.1:8080/GENU/comments/search.php?search=xd&match=`news_subject[SQL-Injection]
http://127.0.0.1:8080/GENU/posts/search.php?search=xd&match=`news_subject[SQL-Injection]
Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
In file: /news/search.php
In line 82:
AND LOWER(` . TABLE_NEWS . `.` . $_GET[`match`] . `) LIKE \\\\`%` . strtolower($search) . `% `
In file: /comments/search.php
In line 77:
AND LOWER(` . TABLE_COMMENTS . `.` . $_GET[`match`] . `) LIKE `%` . strtolower($search) . `% `
In file: /posts/search.php
In line 78:
AND LOWER(` . TABLE_POSTS . `.` . $_GET[`match`] . `) LIKE `%` . strtolower($search) . `% `
Variable $_GET[`match`] is not filtered.
We must in this line`s edit $_GET[`match`] on $match and add code:
In file: /news/search.php
In line 71
In file: /comments/search.php
In line 69
In file: /posts/search.php
In line 69
e.g code:
if(isset($_GET[`match`]))
{
if ($_GET[`match`] == `news_subject`) $match = `news_subject`;
if ($_GET[`match`] == `news_text`) $match = `news_text`;
else $match = `news_subject`;
}
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the sql injection vulnerabilities are estimated as high(+).
