If a person was to have the database details of a phpBB forum...what could the person do with them?
This is what I know about the target:
phpBB 3.0.5
subsilver2 style
Hosted with InMotionHosting
| Code: |
<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = '*****';
$dbuser = '********';
$dbpasswd = '*******';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';
@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>
|
Of course I removed the actual details and replace them with asterisks.
Any suggestions at where I might start. I'm looking for vulnerability issues that might allow a person to deface the site.[/code] |

What about Coppermine database details? If a person had those, what could they do? I believe the version is 1.4.25.
I have database credentials in plain text from the config.inc.php file.
| Code: | <?php
// Coppermine
define ( 'SILLY_SAFE_MODE' , 1 ) ;
$CONFIG['dbserver'] = 'localhost' ;
$CONFIG['dbuser' ] = '****' ;
$CONFIG['dbpass' ] = '******' ;
$CONFIG['dbname' ] = '******' ;
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] = 'cpg_' ;
?>

I ran warex's exploit on them so they upgraded their coppermine version.

1. you can connect remotely (if possible) or locally to the database engine and do whatever your user privileges allow.
2. in case of mysql root user and/or enabled file privileges it may be possible to read and write files at mysql server. It may lead to successfull shell dropping.
3. password reuse - people tend to use same password in multiple places, so mysql password may lead to email or even VPN account compromise. This is more like social engineering, involving human factor  |

I'm pretty sure Remote connection to the database is not possible. I believe I tried to get in that way and it is turned off.
How can I connect locally to the database engine?

I'm pretty sure mysql root user is not possible as it is a shared server at inmotionhosting.com

I've tried using the passwords everywhere else. Seems like a dead end. |
