TITLE:
e107 "rate.php" Redirection and Multiple Rating Weakness

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA17890

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17890/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
e107 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/1927/

DESCRIPTION:
Marc Ruef has reported two weakness in e107, which potentially can be
exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions
and by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks.

1) A design error exists in the way e107 uses an unverified user
supplied argument to redirect a user after the user has submitted a
file download rating. This can be exploited e.g. by tricking a user
into following a specially crafted HTML link to a trusted site's
e107's "rate.php" script.  The user will be redirected to the
untrusted (fake) site when he clicks on the link.

Example:
http://[host]/rate.php?download^2^[url]^1

Successful exploitation requires that the user has already logon to
e107.

2) A design error exists in the way e107 tries to prevent a user from
submitting multiple ratings for a file download. This can be exploited
by malicious users to bypass the restriction and submit multiple
votes.

The weaknesses have been confirmed in version 0.6174. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Weakness #2 has reportedly been fixed in the CVS repositories for
version 0.7.
