<# ToendaCMS<= ( Remote File Include Vulnerabilities 


<# Script.............. : toendaCMS
------------------------------------------------------------------------


< # CodE : include($tcms_administer_site.'/tcms_global/database.php')


< #Expolit :

This does not work, $tcms_administer_site is set before
the usage, see previous Bugtraq-Mails
<http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/443918/30/0/threaded>
and
<http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/444236/30/0/threaded>.


< #http://Www.Site.coM/[path]/browse.php?tcms_administer_site=Sh3ll

< #http://Www.Site.coM/[path]/print.php?tcms_administer_site=Sh3ll

In both scripts $tcms_administer_site is set to 'date'
and after this no manipulation is possible, so there is
no vulnerability in this scripts.

< #http://Www.Site.coM/[path]/setup/inc/database.php?
tcms_administer_site=Sh3ll

This works, if some other parameters are set to suitable
values, since the vulnerable code is in two if-statements
which must be passed to include something.

< # CodE :   require($tcms_administer_site.'/tcms_global/database.php')


< #Expolit :

< #http://Www.Site.coM/[path]/media.php?tcms_administer_site=Sh3ll

Oh oh... had you quoted only one (1) more line of code you
could see

$tcms_administer_site = 'data';
require($tcms_administer_site.'/tcms_global/database.php');

So your fine Sh3ll got overwritten with 'data', so there is
no vulnerability in this case, too.

< #CodE:  include($site.'.php');


< # Expolit :

< # http://Www.Site.coM/[path]/setup/index.php?site=Sh3ll

This one is really nice. Again you should have quoted a
litte bit more code. The include happens in a switch-
statement:

switch($site){
  case 'language':
    include($site.'.php');
    break;

  default:
    include('inc/'.$site.'.php');
    break;
}

Since you set $site to your Sh3ll the switch() will run in
the default-branch, so we get

include('inc/Sh3ll.php');

It's a little bit hard to get something useful out of this:
http:// won't work, so you could only do some directory
traversal with ../-sequences. But than you run in the .php
at the end. Result: Inclusion of an arbitrary .php-file 
on the server. But most times this could be called direct
without the usage of a directory traversal.

Since we have one remote file inclusion (that one in
setup/inc/database.php) this directory traversal is nearly
useless.
