Security Advisory
FlatPress 0.804-0.812.1 Local File Inclusion to Remote Command Execution
Researcher Information
Discovered by: Giuseppe `Zmax` Fuggiano
Website: http://www.giusef.net
Contact: giuseppe(dot)fuggiano(at)gmail(dot)com
Product Information
FlatPress is an open-source standard-compliant multi-lingual extensible blogging engine written in PHP by Edoardo Vacchi.
Website: http://www.flatpress.org
Vulnerability Description
The versions 0.804 through 0.812.1 are resulting to be prone to a nasty LFI vulnerability which can be exploited to have RCE (Remote Command Execution). The piece of code involved is in the fp-includes/core/core.users.php directory in the user_get() function as showed below.
function user_get($userid=null){
if ($userid == null && ($user = user_loggedin())) {
return $user;
}
if (file_exists($f = USERS_DIR . $userid.".php")) {
include($f);
return $user;
}
}
It is possible to create a crafted comment for an article, and inject PHP code into the "web link" field, which is not properly validated. Then, a remote attacker could use this code to execute shell commands remotely, eventually hiding his own tracks (e.g. deleting the injected comment).
