[http://www.coresecurity.com/content/multiple-vulnerabilities-in-bugtracker]

Date published: 2010-11-30

Date of last update: 2010-11-30

Vendors contacted: BugTracker.NET team

Release mode: Coordinated release





2. *Vulnerability Information*



Class: Cross site scripting [CWE-79], SQL injection [CWE-89]

Impact: Code execution

3. *Vulnerability Description*



BugTracker.NET [1][2] is an open-source web-based bug tracker written

using ASP.NET, C#, and Microsoft SQL Server. Several cross-site

scripting and SQL-injection vulnerabilities were found in the following

files of the BugTracker.NET:



   . *bugs.aspx*. SQL injection in line 141.

   . *delete_query.aspx*. No sanitization for 'row_id.Value' in line 30.

   . *edit_bug.aspx*. Variables without sanitization in lines 1846 and 1857.

   . *edit_bug.aspx*. No sanitization for variable 'new_project', line 2214.

   . *edit_bug.aspx*. XSS in line 2918.

   . *edit_comment.aspx*. XSS in line 233.

   . *edit_customfield.aspx*. Lines 165 and 172, no sanitization.

   . *edit_user_permissions2.aspx*. XSS in line 40.

   . *massedit.aspx*. SQL Injection in line 162.





4. *Vulnerable packages*



   . BugTracker.NET v3.4.4.

   . Older versions are probably affected too, but they were not checked.





5. *Non-vulnerable packages*



   . BugTracker.NET v3.4.5.





6. *Credits*



This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Damián Saura

[http://corelabs.coresecurity.com/index.php?module=Wiki&action=view&type=researcher&name=Damian_Saura]

and Alejandro Frydman from Core Security Technologies.





7. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*



7.1. *XSS Vulnerabilities*



[CVE-2010-3266 | N/A]. All XSS vulnerabilities can be exploited in

similar ways. The following proof of concept shows how to exploit the

XSS founded in 'edit_comment.aspx':



/-----

...   

230 <div class=align>

231 <table border=0><tr><td>

232

233 <a href=edit_bug.aspx?id=<%

Response.Write(Request["bug_id"]);%>>back to <%

Response.Write(btnet.Util.get_setting("SingularBugLabel","bug")); %></a>

234 <form class=frm runat="server">

235

236    <table border=0>

...

-----/

 First, login to BugTracker and create a comment in a previously created

bug. Then, edit it using this URL:



/-----

http://localhost:4535/edit_comment.aspx?id=48&bug_id=3%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27%27%29;%3C/script%3E

-----/

 As a result, the JavaScript code injected into the parameter 'bug_id'

will be rendered without sanitization in the line 233, and executed in

the context of the client's web browser.





7.2. *SQL Injection Vulnerabilities*



[CVE-2010-3267 | N/A]. All SQL injection vulnerabilities can also be

exploited in similar ways. Consider, for example, the code located in

'delete_query.aspx':



/-----

...

26 if (IsPostBack)

27 {

28     // do delete here

29     sql = @"delete queries where qu_id = $1";

30     sql = sql.Replace("$1", row_id.Value);

31     btnet.DbUtil.execute_nonquery(sql);

32     Server.Transfer ("queries.aspx");

33 }

...

-----/

 In line 30, the value of 'row_id' is injected without sanitization into

the SQL query. This value arrives to the server in a hidden field of a

client request. As a result, a malicious user can manipulate this value

in order to execute code in the database layer of the application.
