OK, lets start form full path dislosure bugs.
Open the file "/modules/Web_Links/voteinclude.php" and in the beginning you will find
| Code: |
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
require("modules/$module_name/l_config.php");
require_once("mainfile.php");
|
Add additional code, so it will be as
| Code: |
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
if (eregi($module_name, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))
{
die ("Script halted!");
}
require("modules/$module_name/l_config.php");
require_once("mainfile.php");
|
Next, open file "/modules/Statistics/index.php" and locate this code fragment @ end of file:
| Code: |
case "DailyStats":
DailyStats($year,$month,$date);
break;
case "convert_month":
convert_month($month);
break;
}
|
And just delete legacy function, so final code will be
| Code: |
case "DailyStats":
DailyStats($year,$month,$date);
break;
}
|
Next open file "modules/Journal/add.php" and find this (~line 98):
| Code: |
$tempcount = 0;
$direktori = "modules/$module_name/images/moods";
$handle=opendir($direktori);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
$filelist[] = $file;
}
asort($filelist);
|
And add array initialization code:
| Code: |
$tempcount = 0;
$filelist = array();
$direktori = "modules/$module_name/images/moods";
$handle=opendir($direktori);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
$filelist[] = $file;
}
asort($filelist);
|
Now open the file "modules/Journal/modify.php" and find this (~ line92):
| Code: |
$tempcount = 0;
$direktori = "modules/$module_name/images/moods";
$handle=opendir($direktori);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
$filelist[] = $file;
}
asort($filelist);
|
And add code, as in previous case:
| Code: |
$tempcount = 0;
$filelist = array();
$direktori = "modules/$module_name/images/moods";
$handle=opendir($direktori);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
$filelist[] = $file;
}
asort($filelist);
|
Now its time to move @ XSS bugs wipeout.
Open file "/modules/Journal/friend.php" and find this (~line 37):
| Code: |
startjournal($sitename,$user);
$jid = intval($jid);
$sql = "select title from ".$prefix."_journal where jid='$jid'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
|
And lets initialize some variables properly, so code will be as:
| Code: |
startjournal($sitename,$user);
$jid = intval($jid);
$yn=$yun=$ye='';
$sql = "select title from ".$prefix."_journal where jid='$jid'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
|
Next open file "modules/Journal/delete.php" and find this @ beginning:
| Code: |
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
$pagetitle = "- "._USERSJOURNAL."";
|
And add sanitize code, so result will be as:
| Code: |
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
$jid = intval($jid);
$pagetitle = "- "._USERSJOURNAL."";
|
Next open file "modules/Journal/comment.php" and find this (~line 56):
| Code: |
if ($debug == "true") :
echo ("UserName:$username<br>SiteName: $sitename");
endif;
startjournal($sitename,$user);
|
And add sanitize code, so final result will be as:
| Code: |
if ($debug == "true") :
echo ("UserName:$username<br>SiteName: $sitename");
endif;
$onwhat = intval($onwhat);
startjournal($sitename,$user);
|
Next, open file "modules/Journal/commentsave.php" and find this (~line 57):
| Code: |
startjournal($sitename,$user);
$sql="INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_journal_comments VALUES ('','$rid','$username','$comment','$ndate','$mtime')";
$db->sql_query($sql);
update_points(2);
echo ("<br>");
|
Add sanitize code, so result will be as:
| Code: |
startjournal($sitename,$user);
$rid = intval($rid);
$sql="INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_journal_comments VALUES ('','$rid','$username','$comment','$ndate','$mtime')";
$db->sql_query($sql);
update_points(2);
echo ("<br>");
|
OK, we have XSS bugs patched for now.
Let's move on. Now we gonna fix that huge sql injection hole and additionally one potential xss hole.
So - open file "modules/Journal/search.php" and find this (~line 43):
| Code: |
cookiedecode($user);
$username = $cookie[1];
if (!isset($bywhat)):
$bywhat = "naddaanythang";
else :
$bywhat = stripslashes($bywhat);
endif;
if (!isset($forwhat)):
$forwhat = "naddaanythang";
else :
$forwhat = stripslashes($forwhat);
endif;
startjournal($sitename,$user);
|
Now, lets modify code, so result will be as:
| Code: |
cookiedecode($user);
$username = $cookie[1];
if (($bywhat != 'aid') && ($bywhat != 'title') && ($bywhat != 'bodytext') && ($bywhat != 'comment'))
{
$bywhat = 'naddaanythang';
}
if (!isset($forwhat))
{
$forwhat = 'naddaanythang';
}
startjournal($sitename,$user);
|
Next find this code from same file (~line 80):
| Code: |
function search($username,$bywhat,$forwhat,$sitename,$bgcolor2,$bgcolor3,$user) {
global $prefix, $user_prefix, $db, $module_name, $exact;
echo "<br>";
OpenTable();
echo ("<div align=center>");
if ($exact == '1') {
echo ("<strong>"._JOURNALFOR.": \"$forwhat\"</strong><br><br>");
} else {
echo ("<strong>"._SEARCHRESULTS.": \"$forwhat\"</strong><br><br>");
} |
And add sanitize code, so the result will be as:
| Code: |
function search($username,$bywhat,$forwhat,$sitename,$bgcolor2,$bgcolor3,$user) {
global $prefix, $user_prefix, $db, $module_name, $exact;
$forwhat2 = htmlentities(stripslashes($forwhat));
echo "<br>";
OpenTable();
echo ("<div align=center>");
if ($exact == '1') {
echo ("<strong>"._JOURNALFOR.": \"$forwhat2\"</strong><br><br>");
} else {
echo ("<strong>"._SEARCHRESULTS.": \"$forwhat2\"</strong><br><br>");
}
|
Next, find this piece of code from same file (~line 152):
| Code: |
if ($row[aid] == $username) :
printf ("<td align=center bgcolor=$bgcolor2><a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&file=modify&jid=%s\"><img src='modules/$module_name/images/edit.gif' border='0' alt=\""._EDIT."\" title=\""._EDIT."\"></a></td>", $row[jid], $row[title]);
printf ("<td align=center bgcolor=$bgcolor2><a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&file=delete&jid=%s&forwhat=$forwhat\"><img src='modules/$module_name/images/trash.gif' border='0' alt=\""._DELETE."\" title=\""._DELETE."\"></a></td>", $row[jid], $row[title]);
else :
|
Modify "$forwhat" to "$forwhat2", so result will be as:
| Code: |
if ($row[aid] == $username) :
printf ("<td align=center bgcolor=$bgcolor2><a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&file=modify&jid=%s\"><img src='modules/$module_name/images/edit.gif' border='0' alt=\""._EDIT."\" title=\""._EDIT."\"></a></td>", $row[jid], $row[title]);
printf ("<td align=center bgcolor=$bgcolor2><a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&file=delete&jid=%s&forwhat=$forwhat2\"><img src='modules/$module_name/images/trash.gif' border='0' alt=\""._DELETE."\" title=\""._DELETE."\"></a></td>", $row[jid], $row[title]);
else :
|
Finally, find this code fragment from same file (~line 168):
| Code: |
echo ("</table>");
if ($dcount == "") { $dcount = 0; }
echo ("<br><div align=center>$dcount "._PUBLICFOR." \"$forwhat\"</div>");
endif;
echo ("</div>");
CloseTable();
|
And change "$forwhat" to "$forwhat2", so it will be as:
| Code: |
echo ("</table>");
if ($dcount == "") { $dcount = 0; }
echo ("<br><div align=center>$dcount "._PUBLICFOR." \"$forwhat2\"</div>");
endif;
echo ("</div>");
CloseTable();
|
Now we have pathed those nasty security holes in search subsystem.
Its time to move on - let's fix authorization flaws.
To be continued... |

Wow, who would of ever guessed nuke had these many security flaws?
Our site just got hacked a few days ago and I was lucky enough to find WarAxe.
So how is 7.4 so far? Pretty secure? Anyone looked? |

Hello Kliber,

open modules/My_eGallery/public/displayCategory.php
add this codes after <?php
| Code: |
$basepath = strtolower();
$adminpath = strtolower($adminpath);
$awas = strpos($basepath,"http");
$awas2 = strpos($basepath,"ftp");
$hati = strpos($adminpath,"http");
$hati2 = strpos($adminpath,"ftp");
if ($awas === false && $awas2 === false && $hati === false && $hati2 === false) {
if (eregi("displayCategory.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die();
}
|
at the bottom file before ?>
