TITLE:
phpRPG SQL Injection and Information Disclosure

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27968

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27968/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive
information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
phpRPG 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/16970/

DESCRIPTION:
Michael Brooks has discovered some vulnerabilities in phpRPG, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks
and to disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "username" and "password" parameters in
index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary
SQL code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows e.g. logging in
as administrator without valid administrator credentials, but
requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

2) A vulnerability is caused by not properly protecting session files
in the "tmp/" directory. Directory listings for that directory contain
the session IDs used by the application. This can be exploited to pass
session IDs in the "PHPSESSID" cookie and take over other users'
sessions.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the web
server is configured to display directory listings for the "tmp/"
directory.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.8.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Restrict access to the "tmp/" directory (e.g. with ".htaccess").
