Product link: http://www.deluxebb.com/ ====================================================================== 2) Severity Rating: Highly critical Impact: System access, manipulation of data Where: From remote ====================================================================== 3) Description of Vulnerabilities Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in DeluxeBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and compromise a vulnerable system. 1) Input passed to the "templatefolder" parameter in various scripts isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local resources. Examples: http://[host]/templates/deluxe/postreply.php?templatefolder=[file] http://[host]/templates/deluxe/posting.php?templatefolder=[file] http://[host]/templates/deluxe/pm/newpm.php?templatefolder=[file] http://[host]/templates/default/postreply.php?templatefolder=[file] http://[host]/templates/default/posting.php?templatefolder=[file] http://[host]/templates/default/pm/newpm.php?templatefolder=[file] Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled. 2) Input passed to the "hideemail", "languagex", "xthetimeoffset", and "xthetimeformat" parameters when registering for an account isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.06. Other versions may also be affected. ====================================================================== 4) Solution Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified. ====================================================================== 5) Time Table 26/05/2006 - Initial vendor notification. 14/06/2006 - Public disclosure. ====================================================================== 6) Credits Discovered by Andreas Sandblad, Secunia Research. ====================================================================== 7) References The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned CVE-2006-2914 (file inclusion) and CVE-2006-2915 (SQL injection) for the vulnerabilities. ====================================================================== 8) About Secunia Secunia collects, validates, assesses, and writes advisories regarding all the latest software vulnerabilities disclosed to the public.
