# Board Description # #
#====================================# #
# #
# Simple Machines Forum - SMF in short - is a free, professional grade software package that #
# allows you to set up your own online community within minutes. #
# Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your #
# message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your #
# forum and your website interact with each other. #
# SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to provide #
# you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal #
# impact on the resources of the server. #
# SMF is the next generation of forum software - and best of all it is and will always #
# remain completely free! #
# #
#====================================#============================================================#
# Proof Of Concept / Bug Explanation # #
#====================================# #
# This is a quite old exploit and it is inapplicable on 1.1.5 version and on last 2.0 pre-release #
# (that's why I decided to public it). First, let's have a little poc. #
#=================================================================================================#
[Load.php]
148. if (isset($db_character_set) && preg_match('~^\w+$~', $db_character_set) === 1)
149. db_query("
150. SET NAMES $db_character_set", __FILE__, __LINE__);
#=================================================================================================#
# In Load.php if $db_character_set is set Smf will execute a Set Names Sql Query. #
# Directly from dev.mysql.com let's see what it means. #
# #
# "SET NAMES indicates what character set the client will use to send SQL statements to the #
# the server. Thus, SET NAMES 'cp1251' tells the server future incoming messages from this client #
# are in character set cp1251." #
# #
# Ok, now let's see what $db_character_set is. #
# $db_character_set is a "Settings.php variable" written only if a "Non-Default tick" #
# is checked during the installation process. #
# The real vulnerability is when the "Non-Default tick" is left unchecked, Smf doesn't write #
# it in "Settings.php" and no value is assigned to it: it's possible to set it #
# via register_globals. #
# #
# Now the cool poc section =D #
# Surely you saw that preg_match avoids any injection of non-alphanumerical chars in the query #
# at line 150 in Load.php #
# So, how is possible to take advantage of that? #
# To understand this vulnerability you have to comprehend some character set presents multibyte #
# characters and they may obiate addslashes() function. #
# Addslashes simply adds a backslash (0x5c) before single quote ('), double quote ("), #
# backslash (\) and NUL (the NULL byte), without checking if the added blackslash creates #
# another char. #
# No, i'm not going mad :P Here is an example: #
# #
# Bytes in Input #
# 0xa327 #
# #
# Addslashes(Bytes in Input) #
# 0xa35c27 #
# #
# In big5, but also in other multibyte charsets, 0xa35c is a valid char: 0x27 (') is left alone. #
# Therefore a lot of smf's queries are vulnerable if $db_character_set is settable. #
# In this exploit i will inject sql code in Update syntax, increasing user's privledges. #
#=================================================================================================#
# Exploit tested on 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 Smf's versions. #
#=================================================================================================#
# Use this exploit at your own risk. You are responsible for your own deeds. #
