Lightning-speed, stable, SECURED(?) and modern. Version(s) Affected: <= 2.1.0 Severity: Medium Impact: Directory transversal (Remote) Status: Unpatched Discovered by: Chris Boulton <http://www.surfionline.com> Original advisory: http://www.surfionline.com/security_advisories/20060810_xennobb_avatar_g allery_transversal.txt ------------------- DESCRIPTION ------------------- An exploit exists in the above mentioned versions of XennoBB which can be exploited by malicious users to transverse various directories on the server. Input passed to the "gallery" parameter in profile.php is not properly sanitized before being used to open the corresponding directory on the file system. This exploit can lead to manipulation of content in higher up directories than the script intends. --------------------- EXPLOIT --------------------- Submit a forged POST request to profile.php?action=avatar_gallery&id={your registered user ID here} With the following as the POST data: category=../../general/ Successful exploitation leads to images in the /img/general folder being shown to the user. A similar process can be used to obtain other confidential system documents or images which may exist on the server. --------------------- SOLUTION -------------------- Ensure input is correctly sanitized and invalid/not acceptable characters are removed from the gallery POST variable before the directory is opened on the server.
