UBB Thread SQL Injection Vulnerability (main)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://www.ubbcentral.com/> UBB Thread is "robust and flexible PHP
message board, with a MySQL database for power and scalability".
Due to insufficient checking of user provided input UBB Thread allows a
malicious user to insert arbitrary SQL statements into existing ones.
DETAILS
Workaround:
Add in the beginning of the PHP file(printthread.php) after the PHP-Code
tag (<?):
if(array_key_exists('main', $_GET)) $_GET['main']=intval($_GET['main']);
Exploit:
The 'main' parameter is used twice, in two different queries and in two
different number of columns. The popular 'UNION SELECT' method will is not
applicable, because a correct response of the first query, makes the
second query invalid, and vice versa.
The catch is, that the second query execution is conditional to the
results of the first one. If no results are returned from the first query
the second query is not processed, thus, no SQL error will output
Therefore, as you see in the POC exploit below this vulnerability can
still be used to output from the first query not as a text/numbers but as
a "Are there any results" way. If the first query has 0 rows returned,
there will be no SQL error. If there is at least 1 row, then an SQL error
will be shown.
