Affects XAMPP 1.6.8.
homepage: http://www.apachefriends.org/
XAMPP has 17+ million downloads from sourceforge.net.
register_globals=On or Off
This attack is exploitable even when this page is reporting a fully
secure system: http://10.1.1.10/security/index.php
There are two vulnerabilities that are being used toagther.
1)Global variable manipulation to spoof ip address.
2)XSRF to change the .htaccess password for http://10.1.1.10/security/
and http://10.1.1.10/xampp/ .
The $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] comes directly from Apache's tcp socket and
this cannot normally be spoofed.
However extract($_POST); can be used to overwrite any declared
variable, including the $_SERVER superglobal. This can be used to
"spoof" your ip address as 127.0.0.1
This xsrf attack can be exploited from a browser in any ip address, so
long as that browser is currently authenticated.
This vulnerable code is from the very top of: /security/xamppsecurity.php
<?php
error_reporting(0);
extract($_POST);
extract($_SERVER);
$host = "127.0.0.1";
$timeout = "1";
if ($REMOTE_ADDR) {
if ($REMOTE_ADDR != $host) {
echo "<h2> FORBIDDEN FOR CLIENT $REMOTE_ADDR <h2>";
exit;
}
}
//...
//Start of xsrf attack
