        ========================================


* Title: zeroboard IP session bypass XSS vulnerability


0x01. Description


Zeroboard is a popular web notice board used in Korea.

INetCop Security found XSS vulnerability in the latest zeroboard version 4.1 pl 7 (2005. 4. 4).
Basically, zeroboard uses the following algorithm so that session may not be abused
by the attack related with cookie. (e.g: cookie spoofing, sniffing)

After login, is part that handle session: --

bbs/login_check.php:
...
    24  // 회원로그인이 성공하였을 경우 세션을 생성하고 페이지를 이동함
    25          if($member_data[no]) {
    26
    27                  if($auto_login) {
    28                          makeZBSessionID($member_data[no]);
    29                  }
    30
    31                  // 4.0x 용 세션 처리
    32                  $zb_logged_no = $member_data[no];
    33                  $zb_logged_time = time();
    34                  $zb_logged_ip = $REMOTE_ADDR; <--- Recording IP address
    35                  $zb_last_connect_check = '0';
    36
    37                  session_register("zb_logged_no");
    38                  session_register("zb_logged_time");
    39                  session_register("zb_logged_ip");
    40                  session_register("zb_last_connect_check");

If IP address is different from present session user's, connection terminates: --

bbs/lib.php:

    94                  // 세션 값을 체크하여 로그인을 처리
    95                  } elseif($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_no"]) {
    96
    97                          // 로그인 시간이 지정된 시간을 넘었거나 로그인
아이피가 현재 사용자의 아이피와 다를 경우 로그아웃 시킴
    98                          if(time()-$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_time"]>
$_zbDefaultSetup["login_time"]||$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_ip"]!=$REMOTE_ADDR)
 {
    99
   100                                  $zb_logged_no=""; // session initialization
   101                                  $zb_logged_time="";
   102                                  $zb_logged_ip="";
   103                                  session_register("zb_logged_no");
   104                                  session_register("zb_logged_ip");
   105                                  session_register("zb_logged_time");
   106                                  session_destroy();
   107
   108                          // 유효할 경우 로그인 시간을 다시 설정
   109                          } else {

This seems to be intercepting cookie hacking.
But, if we take advantage of IP session disablement technique, session bypassing may be possible.
Detailed explanation about the way to exploit this vulnerability is found at the following 

reference.

As a result, hacker through administrator's web browser exploit code workably become.

0x02. Vulnerable Packages


Vendor site: http://www.nzeo.com/

Low versions including Zeroboard 4.1 pl 7 (2005. 4. 4) version.
-zb41pl7.tar.Z 

Disclosure Timeline:
2003-04.??: Vulnerabilities found.
2006-02.17: 1st vendor contact. (didn't respond)
2006-02.22: 2nd vendor contact. (didn't respond)
2006-02.25: Vendor responded, patch released.

0x03. Exploit


We have 2 `Proof-of-Concept' exploit about this vulnerability.

This XSS vulnerability happens in memo box title and user email, homepage information input.
When administrator logins and checks a user information page, attack code can be achieved,
and there is another way, which injects an attack code in memo title.
After exploit, an attacker can inject PHP code through an administrator web page function.
Through this PHP code injection, the attacker(normal user) can change the password of 

administrator, 
and take administrator's privilege

To prevent the abuse of this vulnerabilty, INetCop Security will not publish POC code.
