Title: zeroboard IP session bypass XSS vulnerability

0x01. Description

Zeroboard is a popular web notice board used in Korea.

INetCop Security found XSS vulnerability in the latest zeroboard version 4.1 pl 7 (2005. 4. 4).
Basically, zeroboard uses the following algorithm so that session may not be abused
by the attack related with cookie. (e.g: cookie spoofing, sniffing)

After login, is part that handle session: –

bbs/login_check.php:
…
24 // Иёїш·О±ЧАОАМ јє°шЗПїґА» °жїм јјјЗА» »эјєЗП°н ЖдАМБцё¦ АМµїЗФ
25 if($member_data[no]) {
26
27 if($auto_login) {
28 makeZBSessionID($member_data[no]);
29 }
30
31 // 4.0x їл јјјЗ Гіё®
32 $zb_logged_no = $member_data[no];
33 $zb_logged_time = time();
34 $zb_logged_ip = $REMOTE_ADDR; <— Recording IP address
35 $zb_last_connect_check = '0';
36
37 session_register("zb_logged_no");
38 session_register("zb_logged_time");
39 session_register("zb_logged_ip");
40 session_register("zb_last_connect_check");
41

If IP address is different from present session user's, connection terminates: –

bbs/lib.php:

94                  // јјјЗ °ЄА» ГјЕ©ЗПї© ·О±ЧАОА» Гіё®
95                  } elseif&#40;$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[&quot;zb_logged_no&quot;]&#41; {
96
97                          // ·О±ЧАО ЅГ°ЈАМ БцБ¤µИ ЅГ°ЈА» іСѕъ°ЕіЄ ·О±ЧАО

ѕЖАМЗЗ°Ў ЗцАз »зїлАЪАЗ ѕЖАМЗЗїН ґЩё¦ °жїм ·О±ЧѕЖїф ЅГЕґ
98 if(time()-$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_time"]>
$_zbDefaultSetup["login_time"]||$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["zb_logged_ip"]!=$REMOTE_ADDR)
{
99
100 $zb_logged_no=""; // session initialization
101 $zb_logged_time="";
102 $zb_logged_ip="";
103 session_register("zb_logged_no");
104 session_register("zb_logged_ip");
105 session_register("zb_logged_time");
106 session_destroy();
107
108 // АЇИїЗТ °жїм ·О±ЧАО ЅГ°ЈА» ґЩЅГ јіБ¤
109 } else {

This seems to be intercepting cookie hacking.
But, if we take advantage of IP session disablement technique, session bypassing may be possible.
Detailed explanation about the way to exploit this vulnerability is found at the following

As a result, hacker through administrator's web browser exploit code workably become.

0x03. Exploit

We have 2 `Proof-of-Concept' exploit about this vulnerability.

This XSS vulnerability happens in memo box title and user email, homepage information input.
When administrator logins and checks a user information page, attack code can be achieved,
and there is another way, which injects an attack code in memo title.
After exploit, an attacker can inject PHP code through an administrator web page function.
Through this PHP code injection, the attacker(normal user) can change the password of

administrator,
and take administrator's privilege

To prevent the abuse of this vulnerabilty, INetCop Security will not publish POC code.
