Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in webEdition 6.0.0.4. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown function of the file index.php. The manipulation of the argument WE_LANGUAGE with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in index.php in webEdition 6.0.0.4 and earlier, when register_globals is enabled and magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the WE_LANGUAGE parameter.

The weakness was released 04/02/2009 (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-1222 since 04/02/2009. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed by Salvatore Fresta and been published before and not just after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. By approaching the search of inurl:index.php it is possible to find vulnerable targets with Google Hacking.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (49530), Exploit-DB (8328), SecurityFocus (BID 34323†) and Secunia (SA34518†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
