Zeroboard IP Session Bypass XSS
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

Zeroboard is "a popular web notice board used in Korea". INetCop Security
found XSS vulnerability in the latest zeroboard version 4.1 pl 7 (2005. 4.
4). Basically, zeroboard uses the following algorithm so that session may
not be abused by the attack related with cookie. (e.g: cookie spoofing,
sniffing).

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* Zeroboard version 4.1 pl 7 (2005. 4. 4)

After login, is part that handle session, bbs/login_check.php:
..
24 //
25 if($member_data[no]) {
26
27 if($auto_login) {
28 makeZBSessionID($member_data[no]);
29 }
30
31 // 4.0x
32 $zb_logged_no = $member_data[no];
33 $zb_logged_time = time();
34 $zb_logged_ip = $REMOTE_ADDR; <--- Recording IP address
35 $zb_last_connect_check = '0';
36
37 session_register("zb_logged_no");
38 session_register("zb_logged_time");
39 session_register("zb_logged_ip");
40 session_register("zb_last_connect_check");
41

If IP address is different from present session user's, connection
terminates, bbs/lib.php:
94 //
95 } elseif($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_no"]) {
96
97 //

98 if(time()-$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_time"]>
$_zbDefaultSetup["login_time"]||$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_ip"]!=$REMOTE_ADDR)
{
99
100 $zb_logged_no=""; // session initialization
101 $zb_logged_time="";
102 $zb_logged_ip="";
103 session_register("zb_logged_no");
104 session_register("zb_logged_ip");
105 session_register("zb_logged_time");
106 session_destroy();
107
108 //
109 } else {

This seems to be intercepting cookie hacking. But, if we take advantage of
IP session disablement technique, session bypassing may be possible.

http://x82.inetcop.org/h0me/papers/iframe_tag_exploit.txt (Korean)

As a result, hacker through administrator's web browser exploit code
workably become.
