Remote


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
1.1
A remote sql injection web vulnerability has been discovered in the Iranian Web Blog Service v3.3 content management 
system.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute own sql commands to compromise the web-applicaation or connected 
dbms.

The vulnerability is located in the `i` parameter of the `list.php` file GET method request. Remote attackers are able 
to execute sql commands by injection of malicious statements via GET method request. The vulnerability is located on 
the 
application-side and the request method to inject/execute is GET. The security vulnerability is a classic order by sql 
injection in the `i` value. 

The security risk of the sql injection vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count of 7.4.
Exploitation of the remote sql injection web vulnerability requires no user interaction or privileged web-application 
user account.
Successful exploitation of the remote sql injection results in database management system, web-server and 
web-application compromise.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] GET

Vulnerable File(s):
                                [+] list.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] i




1.2
A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the Iranian Web Blog Service v3.3 content 
management system.
The web vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes to the client-side of the online 
service module or function.

The cross site scripting web vulnerability is located in the `page` parameter of the `list.php` file GET method 
request. Remote attackers are 
able to inject own malicious script codes to the page parameter to compromise client-side requests. The attack vector 
of the vulnerability is 
non-persistent and the request method to inject/execute is GET.

The security risk of the cross site web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count of 3.3. 
Exploitation of the web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application account with restricted access and only 
low user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in persistent phishing, session hijacking, persistent external 
redirect to malicious 
sources and application-side manipulation of affected or connected module context.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] list.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] page




1.3
An arbitrary file upload web vulnerability has been discovered in the Iranian Web Blog Service v3.3 content management 
system.
The vulnerability allows to upload malicious files to unrestricted path variables to compromise the web-server or 
database.

The web vulnerability is located in the connector path of the fckeditor module. Remote attackers are able to upload 
files without 
secure authentication, which results in the compromise by malicious webshells (php or js). The path variable of the 
upload folder 
is not restricted by default configuration.

The security risk of the web vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count 
of 7.1. 
Exploitation of the web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application account with restricted access or user 
interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in unauthorized upload of files like webshells or rootkits to 
compromise the 
web-server and database management system.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] POST

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Fckeditor

Vulnerable Function(s):
                                [+] File Upload


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
1.1
The remote sql-injection web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged user account or user 
interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to 
continue.

Dork(s):
inurl:list.php?i=

PoC:
http://localhost:8080/list.php?i=-1'[SQL-INJECTION VULNERABILITY!]---



1.2
The cross site scripting web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged user account and 
with low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to 
continue.

PoC:
http://localhost:8080/list.php?page=37<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>



1.3
The arbitrary file upload web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged user account or 
user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to 
continue.


PoC:
http://localhost:8080/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/
http://localhost:8080/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/uploadtest.html


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
1.1
The first vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable i parameter in the list.php file 
GET method request.
Escape and use a prepared statement to secure the sql request in the code-line of the file.

1.2
Encode and parse the vulnerable page parameter in the list.php file GET method request. Disallow the usage of special 
chars to prevent client-side xss attacks.
Restrict the parameter input and encode the value or escape the entries.

1.3
Restrict the file path request and disallow uploads to prevent arbitrary file upload attacks. 
Disallow to review the path after upload to prevent the execute of webshells.


Security Risk:
==============
1.1
The security risk of the remote sql-injection web vulnerability in the i parameter value of the list.php file is 
estimated as high. (CVSS 7.4)

1.2
The security risk of the cross site scripting web vulnerability in the page parameter value of the list.php file is 
estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.3)

1.3
The security risk of the arbitrary file upload web vulnerability in the fckeditor module is estimated as high. (CVSS 
7.1)
