Exponent CMS v0.97 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Title: Exponent CMS v0.97 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: ZSL-2010-4969
Type: Local/Remote
Impact: Cross-Site Scripting, System Access, Exposure of System Information, Exposure of Sensitive Information, Manipulation of Data
Risk: (4/5)
Release Date: 14.10.2010
#1. Local File Inclusion / File Disclosure Vulnerability
#2. Arbitrary File Upload / File Modify Vulnerability
#3. Reflected Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
(1) LFI/FD occurs when input passed thru the params:
- "action"
- "expid"
- "ajax_action"
- "printerfriendly"
- "section"
- "module"
- "controller"
- "int"
- "src"
- "template"
- "page"
- "_common"
to the scripts:
- "index.php"
- "login_redirect.php"
- "mod_preview.php"
- "podcast.php"
- "popup.php"
- "rss.php"
is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include files from local resources with directory traversal attacks and URL encoded NULL bytes.
(2) AFU/E occurs due to an error in:
- "upload_fileuploadcontrol.php"
- "upload_standalone.php"
- "manifest.php"
- "delete.php"
- "edit.php"
- "manage.php"
- "rank_switch.php"
- "save.php"
- "view.php"
- "class.php"
- "deps.php"
- "delete_form.php"
- "delete_process.php"
- "search.php"

- "gmgr_delete.php"
- "gmgr_editprofile.php"
- "gmgr_membership.php"
- "gmgr_savegroup.php"
- "gmgr_savemembers.php"
as it allows uploads of files with multiple extensions to a folder inside the web root. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a specially crafted PHP script.
The uploaded files are stored in: [CMS_ROOT_HOST]\files
(3) XSS occurs when input passed to the params:
- "u"
- "expid"
- "ajax_action"
- "ss"
- "sm"
- "url"
- "rss_url"
- "lang"
- "toolbar"
- "section"
- "section_name"
- "src"
in scripts:
- "slideshow.js.php"
- "picked_source.php"
- "magpie_debug.php"
- "magpie_simple.php"
- "magpie_slashbox.php"
- "test.php"
- "fcktoolbarconfig.js.php"
- "section_linked.php"
- "index.php"
is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
