phpBB Bulletin Board search.php SQL Injection |
|
 paranor writes "NOTE TO STORYM ADMINISTRATOR: Got this via SANS email. And I'm new to php-nuke - do we need to implement this fix?
Affected Products:
phpBB version 2.06
Description:
phpBB is a popular open source bulletin board software which integrates
with multiple backend databases. The "search.php" script included with
the phpBB software contains a SQL injection vulnerability. The problem
arises due to lack of sanitization of user input to the script's
"search_id" parameter, allowing a malicious user to manipulate SQL
queries issued against the backend database. For instance, the
vulnerability can be exploited to extract the password hashes from the
database that can lead to administrative access to the bulletin board.
A proof-of-concept exploit has been posted.
Status: Vendor confirmed, a patch is available.
Council Site Actions:
The affected software is not in production or widespread use at any of
the council sites. They reported that no action was necessary.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Where is the patch?
When I tested my site, I could not exploit this. I assumed it was due to the fact that the forum search is within the forum block and the string would have to be specially crafted for phpBBtonuke search as opposed to the standard phpbb search. Of course I value any input.. |
