PMOS Help Desk <= 2.4 Remote Command Execution Exploit

The PMOS Help Desk version 2.4 and below is vulnerable to remote command execution. The vulnerability exists in the form.php file, where PHP code injection is possible. The code injection occurs in the query at line 49 or 47, allowing an attacker to inject PHP code into the 'options' table. The injected code will be executed by the eval() function in files like index.php. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands on the server.

Mitigation:

It is recommended to update to a newer version of PMOS Help Desk that addresses this vulnerability. Additionally, input validation and sanitization should be implemented to prevent code injection attacks.

	[-] PHP code injection through /form.php:

	28.	if( $_SESSION[login_type] == $LOGIN_INVALID )
	29.	  Header( "Location: {$HD_URL_LOGIN}?redirect=" . urlencode( $HD_CURPAGE ) ); <===
	30.
	31.	$global_priv = get_row_count( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$pre}privilege WHERE ( user_id = '{$_SESSION[user][id]}' && dept_id = '0' )" );
	32.	if( !$global_priv )
	33.	  Header( "Location: $HD_URL_BROWSE" ); <===
	34.
	35.	$options = array( "header", "footer", "logo", "title", (...)
	36.
	37.	if( $_GET[cmd] == "customdel" )
	38.	{
	39.	  mysql_query( "DELETE FROM {$pre}options WHERE ( id = '{$_GET[id]}' )" );
	40.	}
	41.	else if( isset( $_POST[header] ) )
	42.	{
	43.	  for( $i = 0; $i < count( $options ); $i++ )
	44.	  {
	45.	    $exists = get_row_count( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$pre}options WHERE ( name = '{$options[$i]}' )" );
	46.	    if( $exists )
	47.	      mysql_query( "UPDATE {$pre}options SET text = '" . $_POST[$options[$i]] . "' WHERE ( name = '{$options[$i]}' )" );
	48.	    else
	49.	      mysql_query( "INSERT INTO {$pre}options ( name, text ) VALUES ( '{$options[$i]}', '" . $_POST[$options[$i]] . "' )" ); <===
	50.	  }

	there isn't any exit() or die() function after header redirection at lines 29, 33...so an attacker can inject php code into the 'options'
	table through the query at line 49 (or 47)...injected code will be executed by eval() function located into some files...look at index.php:

	28.	$options = array( "header", "footer", "logo", (...)
	29.	$data = get_options( $options );
	196.	  eval( "?> {$data[header]} <?" ); <===

	[-] Bug fix in /form.php :

	28.	if( $_SESSION[login_type] == $LOGIN_INVALID ) {
	29.	  Header( "Location: {$HD_URL_LOGIN}?redirect=" . urlencode( $HD_CURPAGE ) );
	30.	  exit();
	31.	}
	32.
	33.	$global_priv = get_row_count( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$pre}privilege WHERE ( user_id = '{$_SESSION[user][id]}' && dept_id = '0' )" );
	34.	if( !$global_priv ) {
	35.	  Header( "Location: $HD_URL_BROWSE" );
	36.	  exit();
	37.	}
