COMMAND
ikonboard CSS vulnerability leading to admin access
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3
PROBLEM
Maxspeed found that ikonboard, a web bbs program, is vulnerable to
cross site scripting, permitting malicious attacker to access admin
panel - and admin rights.
the problem is in the way the [img] tags check for the \"http://\". The
[img] tags checks for the \"http://\" when you post a new topic but it
doesnt check for it while your edit one. So it will allow you to insert
malacious code while you editing a post.
Proof of concept:
Make a new post, then \"EDIT\" the post and in the body of the post
insert this code
[IMG]javascript:alert(document.cookie)[/IMG]
an alert box should pop up displaying your cookies!
SOLUTION
make [IMG] tags check for \"http://\" when editing a post.
