Title: XCloner WordPress/Joomla! backup Plugin v3.1.1 (WordPress) v3.5.1 (Joomla!) Vulnerabilities Author: Larry W. Cashdollar, @_larry0 Date: 10/17/2014 Download: https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/ Download: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-security/backup/665 Downloads: WordPress 313,647 Joomla! 515745 StandAlone 69175 Website: http://www.xcloner.com Advisory: http://www.vapid.dhs.org/advisories/wordpress/plugins/Xcloner-v3.1.1/ Vendor: Notified 10/17/14 Ovidiu Liuta, @thinkovi Acknowledged & no other response. CVEID: Requested, TDB. OSVDBID:114176,114177,114178,114179,114180 Description: “XCloner is a Backup and Restore component designed for PHP/Mysql websites, it can work as a native plugin for WordPress and Joomla!.” Vulnerabilities:There are multiple vulnerabilities I’ve discovered in this plugin, they are as follows. 1. Arbitrary command execution. 2. Clear text MySQL password exposure through html text box under configuration panel. 3. Database backups exposed to local users due to open file permissions. 4. Unauthenticated remote access to backup files via easily guessable file names. 5. Authenticated remote file access. 6. MySQL password exposed to process table. Arbitrary Command Execution Plugin allows arbitrary commands to be executed by an authenticated user.The user will require administrative access rights to backup the database. User input when specifying your own file name is not sanitized as well as various other input fields. PoC All input fields I believe are vulnerable, I’ve chosen the backup filename and a wget of sh.txt which is simply <?php passthru($_GET)?> into a writeable directory by www-data. Screenshots available at the advisory URL above. All user configurable variables are vulnerable, these variables need to be sanitized before being passed to the exec() function for execution. $_CONFIG[tarpath] $exclude $_CONFIG['tarcompress'] $_CONFIG['filename'] $_CONFIG['exfile_tar'] $_CONFIG[sqldump] $_CONFIG['mysql_host'] $_CONFIG['mysql_pass'] $_CONFIG['mysql_user'] $database_name $sqlfile $filename Vulnerable code ./cloner.functions.php: 1672 exec($_CONFIG[tarpath] .

Screenshots available at the advisory URL above. Remote Database Download & Local File Permissions The default recommend path for backup storage is /usr/share/wordpress/administrator/backups. An index.html file is created under this directory to prevent casual browsing however the file names are easily predictable. From the installation instructions: “XCloner is a tool that will help you manage your website backups, generate/restore/move so your website will be always secured! With XCloner you will be able to clone your site to any other location with just a few clicks. Don't forget to create the 'administrator/backups' directory in your WordPress root and make it fully writeable.” The format of the filenames are: backup_year-month-day_month_24hour_minute_domainname-sql-OPTIONS.tar where OPTIONS could be either -sql-drop, -sql-nodrop or -nosql depending on options selected during time of backup. The domain name is set by the HTTP_HOST header from line 88 ofcloner.config.php: 88: $_CONFIG['mosConfig_live_site']=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; root@larry:/usr/share/wordpress/administrator/backups# ls -l total 129432 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 44177408 Oct 29 13:15 backup_2014-10-29_10-14_testsite-sql-nodrop.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 44177408 Oct 29 13:19 backup_2014-10-29_10-19_testsite-sql-nodrop.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 44177408 Oct 29 13:24 backup_2014-10-29_10-24_testsite-sql-nodrop.tar These file permissions also expose the contents of the databases to any local system users. File naming convention code is as follows: 1327 $domainname = $_CONFIG['mosConfig_live_site']; 1351 if ($_REQUEST['bname'] == "") { 1352 if ($backupDatabase == 1) { 1353 if ($_REQUEST['dbbackup_drop']) { 1354 $filename1 = 'backup_' . date("Y-m-d_H-i") .
