Introduction:
=============
Do It Yourslef Content Management System is a feature-rich, php-built, mysql-based, opensource and free CMS.
It is suitable to manage any kind of contents. It is modular, extensible and easliy skinnable. Build your own modules
for specific
purposes, add certain functionalites to suit your needs and design a theme that represents the content of your website.

Abstract:
=========
A Vulnerability Laboratory researcher discovered multiple web vulnerabilities in DIY v1.0 Content Management System.
Report-Timeline:

Exploitation-Technique:
=======================
Remote
Severity:
=========
High
Details:
========
1.1
A SQL Injection vulnerability is detected in DIY v1.0 Content Management System.
The vulnerability allows an attacker (remote) or local low privileged user account to inject/execute own sql commands
on the affected application dbms. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in dbms & application compromise.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Mod - Poll
1.2
Multiple non persistent cross site scripting vulnerability is detected in DIY v1.0 Content Management System.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to hijack website customer, moderator or admin sessions with high required
user inter action or local low privileged user account. Successful exploitation can result in account steal, phishing
& client-side content request manipulation.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Poll - Question & Answer Input/Output
1.3
A cross site request forgery vulnerability is detected in DIY v1.0 Content Management System. The bugs allow remote
attackers with high required user inter action to edit user accounts. Successful exploitation can lead to account
access.
To exploit the issue the attacker need to create a manipulated copy the edit user mask/form. Inside of the document the
remote can implement his own values for the update because of no form or token protection. When admin get now forced to
execute the script via link he is executing the new value on the update of the application if his session is not
expired.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] &modfile=add
Proof of Concept:
=================
1.1
The sql injection vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without user inter action.
Exploitation requires the possibility to allow an attacker to add or config a poll.
For demonstration or reproduce ...
PoC:
diy-cms/mod.php?mod=poll&start=`[SQL-INJECTION]--
1.2
The cross site vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with medium required user inter action.
For demonstration or reproduce ...
PoC:
diy-cms/modules/poll/add.php[Cross Site Scripting]
1.3
The cross site request forgery vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with high required user inter
action.
For demonstration or reproduce ...
<form action="http://127.0.0.1/diy/mod.php?mod=poll&modfile=add"; method="post" name="add_poll"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name='polltype' value='1'>
<input type="hidden" name="question" value="<script>alert(1)</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="answer1" value="<script>alert(1)</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="answer2" value="<script>alert(1)</script>">

<input type=submit name='submit' value=XSS></td>
</form>
Solution:
=========
1.1
In file /diy-cms/modules/poll/index.php
line: 50 - 55
$ppp = $mod->setting(/`polls_per_page/`);
if(!isset($_GET[/`start/`]))
{$start = /`0/`;
}else{
$start = $_GET[/`start/`];
}
we edit to:
$ppp = $mod->setting(/`polls_per_page/`);
if(!isset($_GET[/`start/`]))
{$start = /`0/`;
}else{
$start = (int)$_GET[/`start/`];
}

}
if($status == /`1/`)
{
$result = $diy_db->query(/``update diy_poll_questions set status=/`0/`/``);

{
$answer = $answer;

}
Risk:
=====
1.1
The security risk of the sql injection vulnerabilities are estimated as high(+).
1.2
The security risk of the persistent input validation vulnerability is estimated as medium(-).
1.2
The security risk of the persistent input validation vulnerability is estimated as low(+).
