Description: Several vulnerabilities were reported in the PsychoBlogger content management system. A remote user can inject SQL commands and can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Calum Power reported several input validation vulnerabilities in various components of the software.
It is reported that the 'shouts.php' script does not properly validate the 'shoutlimit' parameter and the 'comments.php' script does not properly validate the 'blogid' variable. A remote user can set the variables to a specially crafted value to execute SQL commands on the underlying database.
A demonstration exploit 'blogid' value is provided:
1 and 'a'='z' union select ba.authorid,name,pwd,email,url,ba.active,comments,be.blogid from blog_authors ba, blog_entries be where 'a'='a'
This demonstration exploit reportedly will display the user rights of the first user in the database. A remote user can exploit this flaw for other purposes, including obtaining the hashed passwords.
It is also reported that the 'functions.php' script does not properly validate some input and may allow SQL injection.
It is also reported that the 'imageview.php' script does not filter HTML code from user-supplied information in the 'desc' variable before displaying the information. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the PsychoBlogger software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://[target]/imageview.php?desc=
Input validation flaws that permit cross-site scripting attacks were also reported in the 'entryadmin.php', 'authoredit.php', 'blockedit.php', 'configadmin.php', and 'quoteedit.php' scripts.
Impact: A remote user can execute arbitrary SQL commands to, among other things, retrieve encrypted passwords from the database.
A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the Psychoblogger software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
