[Full-disclosure] Vulnerabilities on Cryptographp

[Lu33Y <lu33y@xxxxxxx>]

During a security assessment, I’ve found that my target was using Cryptographp 
which is a PHP script used for generate « captchas ».

It was easily noticeable when I’ve found the following URL:

http://WWWW/cryptographp.inc.php?cfg=XX&sn=YYYY&ZZZZ

 

So I've decided to take a look at the source code and I’ve found 2 
vulnerabilities.

The first one has already been disclosed but hasn’t been corrected. This 
vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts on the host 
server by causing cryptographp.inc.php to include any arbitrary file existent 
in the same directory.

Here is the vulnerable source code:

if (is_file($_GET['cfg']) and dirname($_GET['cfg'])=='.' )

$_SESSION['configfile']=$_GET['cfg'];

else 

$_SESSION['configfile']="cryptographp.cfg.php";

include($_SESSION['configfile']); 

 

The second vulnerability can be easily found but seems not to be revealed on 
Internet or on an exploit database. It is an HTTP Response Splitting which can 
be used to perform cross-site scripting attacks, cross-user defacement, web 
cache poisoning, and similar exploits.

Here is the vulnerable source code: 

<?php

…

Header("Location: 
cryptographp.inc.php?cfg=".$_GET['cfg']."&sn=".session_name()."&".SID);

?>

 

For the mitigation of this two vulnerabilities, one simple rule:

Input Validation
