Re: NSFOCUS SA2000-09 : AHG EZshopper Loadpage.cgi FileListDisclosure Vulnerability

Hello,

I made a error in my previous mail.
I stated that all files ABOVE $root can be viewed, this is not true.
I meant all dirs UNDER $root, so if you have $root=/home/marshal
you can view all files under /home/marshal/* but can't go to /home/ or
any other dir above /home/marshal.
Ofcourse you get the user level of the httpd daemon so this is your
restricting when trying to view files.

the $root variable can be found in setcart.pl.

The correct info can be found here:
http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/AHG_EZshopper_loadpage_cgi_exposes_sensitive_file_and_directory_contents.html

most of the time people who use AHG have $root=/ or $root=/home/pages/
which in the first case make
it possible to view all the files on the system which are viewable with
the user supplied by the http daemon.
And the second one makes it possible to view all the webpages including
the cgi-bin directory, so you can look
at the code of scripts that are parsed at the server side because the
loadpage.cgi scripts kept it from parsing.

A better solutions from AHG would be to only let it view .html and .htm
documents and to exclude .cgi or any other
kind of file.

Greetings Marshal.

I also contacted AHG about it a long time ago, it seems that they had an
update.
This update is still vuln, loadpage is possible to view any file above
the specified $root=
dir in the config file. but execution and viewing files with search is
no longer possible.
I contacted them about it, they did nothing.

But yes, this advisory is old news.
