The Everything Development System SQL Injection
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
There exists a vulnerability in The Everything Development Engine that
allows a user to inject their own SQL to modify a SELECT query, leading to
information disclosure, XSS, or privilege escalation. What's more,
passwords are stored in the database as plaintext, making user accounts
very easily compromised.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* The Everything Development System version Pre-1.0 and prior
In some versions of the software sub has encountered, the following proof
of concept will display a corresponding username and password in the
"core" field and "reputation" field on the page, respectively.
Proof of Concept:
http://path.to/cms/index.pl?node_id=0/**/UNION/**/SELECT/**/null,
101,null,1,null,null,passwd,null,null,nick,
null/**/FROM/**/user/**/WHERE/**/nick/**/!%3d/**/''/**/%23
In other, probably more recent versions, a 13-column query is required or
the UNION. What does not change, is that of all of the various versions
I've encountered, all are vulnerable to SQL injection.
The ideal fix would be to ensure that the 'node_id' request variable is
the appropriate data-type (signed int) before passing it as part of a SQL
query.
Vendor Status:
A private ticket was created on the vendors Bug Tracker page prior to this
release. However, sub has decided to release this vulnerability without a
reply from the vendor as the Bug Tracker, and development project, seemed
to be 'abandoned.'
