Title: ====== GENU CMS 2012.4 - Multiple Web Vulnerabilities Date: ===== 2012-05-06 References: =========== http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=519 VL-ID: ===== 519 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 7.5 Introduction: ============= GENU is a Content Management System written with PHP language and using a database server (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite) for storage. It is fully customisable since it uses a templates system and supports multiple languages. GENU is an open-source software distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL license version 3. - Easy installation - Full customisation with templates - Multiple languages interface - Unlimited news organised into unlimited categories - Comments system with reply and edit possibilities - Articles management - Users management - Bulletin board - Polls - Complete administration interface - Search engine - Submit and send news functions - Smilies support - BBCodes or HTML tags support - Headlines generation - ... (Copy of the Vendor Homepage: http://www.gnew.fr/news/index.php ) Abstract: ========= A Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered multiple web vulnerabilities in GENU CMS 2012-3 content management system. Report-Timeline: ================ 2012-04-16: Public or Non-Public Disclosure Status: ======== Published Exploitation-Technique: ======================= Remote Severity: ========= High Details: ======== 1.1 A remote SQL Injection vulnerability is detected in GENU CMS 2012-3 content management system. The vulnerability allows an attacker (remote) or local low privileged user account to inject/execute own sql commands on the affected application dbms. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in dbms & application compromise. The vulnerability is located on the username post method. Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Search - news_subject --- SQL Exception Logs --- Error in query SELECT genu_categories.category_id, genu_categories.category_image, genu_categories.category_name, genu_news.news_comments, genu_news.news_date, genu_news.news_id, genu_news.news_source, genu_news.news_subject, genu_news.news_text, genu_users.user_id, genu_users.user_name FROM genu_categories, genu_news, genu_users WHERE genu_categories.category_id = genu_news.category_id AND genu_categories.category_level IN ( 0 , 2 ) AND genu_news.news_active = 1 AND genu_news.user_id = genu_users.user_id AND LOWER(genu_news.news_subject-1 ) LIKE %news% ORDER BY news_date DESC LIMIT 0, 30 Picture(s): ../1.png ../2.png 1.2 A csrf vulnerability is detected in GENU CMS 2012-3 content management system. The vulnerability allows an remote attacker to delete with medium required user inter action administrator, moderator & users without checkbox or confirmation by the admin itself. Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Delete User Picture(s): ../3.png Proof of Concept: ================= 1.1 The sql injection vulnerability can be exploited by remote attacker without user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ... PoC: http://127.0.0.1:80/genu/news/search.php?search=news&match=news_subject-1%27[SQL-INJECTION] 1.2 The csrf vulnerability can be exploited by remote attacker with medium or high required user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ...
