0x01 Summary

 YapBB is a OpenSource Web Forum written in php.
 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/yapbb)

 This web program is vulnerable to sql injection attack. 
 So malicious attacker can get Every nicknames(id), passwords for this YapBB.

 Let's see the codes ~!


0x02 Testbed

0x03 Codes

~/YapBB-1.2-Beta2/YapBB/find.php:
-
..
34: $userBool = $HTTP_POST_VARS["choice"]=="user";  // if choice == 'user'
36: $userpostBool = !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS["userID"]); // userID == '[inject sql]'
..
119: else if ($userpostBool)
120: {
128:	$postRes = $postQuery->select("SELECT p.date, t.id, t.description, u.nickname FROM " . 
        $cfgDatabase['post'] . " AS p, " . $cfgDatabase['topic'] . " AS t, " . 
	$cfgDatabase['user'] . " AS u WHERE t.id = p.topicid AND p.posterid = $userID AND 
	u.id = p.posterid GROUP BY p.topicid ORDER BY p.date DESC LIMIT 50");   // execute sql!
