CubeCart 4.4.6 Local File Inclusion

pedala1 · December 25, 2012

1. OVERVIEW

CubeCart 4.4.6 and lower versions are vulnerable to Local File Inclusion.

2. BACKGROUND

CubeCart is an "out of the box" ecommerce shopping cart software

solution which has been written to run on servers that have PHP &

MySQL support. With CubeCart you can quickly setup a powerful online

store which can be used to sell digital or tangible products to new

and existing customers all over the world.

3. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION

CubeCart 4.4.6 and lower versions contain a flaw that may allow a

remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands or code. The issue is

due to the '/admin.php' script not properly sanitizing user input,

specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied

to the 'loc' parameter. This may allow an attacker to include a file

from the targeted host that contains arbitrary commands or code that

will be executed by the vulnerable script. Such attacks are limited

due to the script only calling files already on the target host. In

addition, this flaw can potentially be used to disclose the contents

of any file on the system accessible by the web server.
