PHP-Nuke “modules/News/index.php” SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

TITLE:

PHP-Nuke “modules/News/index.php” SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

SA23128

VERIFY ADVISORY:

http://secunia.com/advisories/23128/

CRITICAL:

Moderately critical

IMPACT:

Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:

From remote

SOFTWARE:

PHP-Nuke 7.x

http://secunia.com/product/2385/

DESCRIPTION:

Paisterist has discovered two vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the “sid” parameter in modules/News/index.php from modules.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation allows retrieval of administrator usernames and password hashes, but requires that “magic_quotes_gpc” is disabled and that the attacker knows the prefix for the database tables.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 7.9. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Set “magic_quotes_gpc” in php.ini to On.

Use another product.
