["Zackarin Smitz" <zackerius12@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Subject:
Lpanel.NET's Lpanel (all versions up to and including 1.59) is vulnerable to 
unauthorized domain management access.


Severity:
High; This vulnerability allows an attacker to modify DNS information for a 
client's domain.


Preamble:
(Taken from http://www.lpanel.net/)
Lpanel is a Complete Web Hosting Billing & Automation Suite that installs over 
cPanel, WHM.

Created from the ground up from cPanel by web hosting administrators, Lpanel 
has everything a cPanel hosting business needs and will ever need. Constantly 
expanding to meet the quickly developing web hosting market, Lpanel is the only 
complete management solution available today for cPanel web hosts. From 
multi-staff tiers, automated signups, reseller management, network utilities, 
automated SSL, as well as a full array of ?Added Services? and detailed 
efficiency reports - Lpanel is always steps ahead of the rest.


Problem:
The ?editdomain? GET variable of domains.php (i.e. 
http://yourdomain.com/lpanel/help/domains.php?editdomain=someotherdomain.com) 
is not authenticated in anyway against the currently logged in user. As such, 
an attacker with a user account on the system can replace the domain specified 
by the editdomain variable with another domain maintained by the system, and 
gain access to the editing of that domain's details, and the modification of 
them.


Workaround:
This bug can be fixed by checking that the currently logged in user owns the 
domain specified by the ?editdomain? GET variable.

About the Author:
The author is in between life paths at the moment, but is currently a software 
engineer at a company to remain unnamed. When not at his computer, the author 
enjoys doing a great many things, most of which he has lost all time for, or 
lacks people to do those things with in his current lifestyle. As such he finds 
more time for work, or just visits Blockbuster, and when all else fails, 
fabricates reports such as this.

The author is posting this message anonymously in order to avoid potential 
legal consequences, although he is having trouble seeing any potential 
consequences as feasible, considering the vendor does not release a plain-text 
version of their license (the license is actually encoded, and when viewed, 
renders a PHP parse error).


Greets:
I'd like to say hi to the team with which I work; you're all great. I'd also 
like to say hello to swoolley and tautology.
