Introduction:
=============
Do It Yourslef Content Management System is a feature-rich, php-built, 
mysql-based, opensource and free CMS. 
It is suitable to manage any kind of contents. It is modular, extensible and 
easliy skinnable. Build your own modules for specific 
purposes, add certain functionalites to suit your needs and design a theme that 
represents the content of your website.

Abstract:
=========
A Vulnerability Laboratory researcher discovered multiple web vulnerabilities 
in DIY v1.0 Content Management System.


Report-Timeline:
================
2012-04-16:     Public or Non-Public Disclosure


Status:
========
Published


Exploitation-Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity:
=========
High


Details:
========
1.1
A SQL Injection vulnerability  is detected in DIY v1.0 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.

Vulnerable Module(s): 
                                           [+] Mod - Poll

1.2
Multiple non persistent cross site scripting vulnerability is detected  in DIY 
v1.0 Content Management System.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to hijack website customer, moderator 
or admin sessions with high required 
user inter action or local low privileged user account. Successful exploitation 
can result in account steal, phishing 
& client-side content request manipulation.

Vulnerable Module(s): 
                                           [+] Poll - Question & Answer 
Input/Output


1.3
A cross site request forgery vulnerability is detected  in DIY v1.0 Content 
Management System. The bugs allow remote 
attackers with high required user inter action to edit user accounts. 
Successful exploitation can lead to account access.
To exploit the issue the attacker need to create a manipulated copy the edit 
user mask/form. Inside of the document the 
remote can implement his own values for the update because of no form or token 
protection. When admin get now forced to 
execute the script via link he is executing the new value on the update of the 
application if his session is not expired.

Vulnerable Module(s): 
                                           [+] &modfile=add


Proof of Concept:
=================
1.1
The sql injection vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without 
user inter action.
Exploitation requires the possibility to allow an attacker to add or config a 
poll.
For demonstration or reproduce ...

PoC:
diy-cms/mod.php?mod=poll&start=`[SQL-INJECTION]--


1.2
The cross site vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with medium 
required user inter action.
For demonstration or reproduce ...

PoC:
diy-cms/modules/poll/add.php[Cross Site Scripting]


1.3
The cross site request forgery vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote 
attackers with high required user inter action.
For demonstration or reproduce ...

<form action="http://127.0.0.1/diy/mod.php?mod=poll&modfile=add"; method="post" 
name="add_poll" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name='polltype' value='1'>

<input type="hidden" name="question" value="<script>alert(1)</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="answer1" value="<script>alert(1)</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="answer2" value="<script>alert(1)</script>">

<input type="hidden" name='active' value='1' checked>
<input type=submit name='submit' value=XSS></td>
</form>


Solution:
=========
1.1

In file /diy-cms/modules/poll/index.php 
line: 50 - 55

$ppp = $mod->setting(/`polls_per_page/`);
                if(!isset($_GET[/`start/`]))
                {$start = /`0/`;
                }else{
                $start = $_GET[/`start/`];
                }

we edit to:

$ppp = $mod->setting(/`polls_per_page/`);
                if(!isset($_GET[/`start/`]))
                {$start = /`0/`;
                }else{
                $start = (int)$_GET[/`start/`];
                }
