Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
1) Blind sql injection
Navarino infinity exposes an unauthenticated script that is prone to blind sql injection.
If successfully exploited the user can get info from the underlying postgresql database that
could lead into to total compromise of the product.
The said script is available with no authentication
2) Session fixation attack
All infinity products are prone to a session fixation attack.Server accepts the session id as a GET
parameter.This could lead to phishing attacks that can bypass the two factor authentication that is present
in some installations.Furthermore this can be chained with the vulnerability 1 and have the attacker login as
any user with no phissing required.
3) Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
There are certain functions that when placed in the url bypass any authentication mechanism in place.This could
lead into information leaking.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
1) Blind sql injection
### Details
* Attack Vector: HTTP GET
* Prerequisites: None
* CWE: Sql Injection
* Technical Impact: Unrestricted access to database.
* Vulnerable query URL: /jq.php?action=loadtransactions&rows=5
* Vulnerable GET parameter: rows
2) Session fixation attack
### Details
* Attack Vector: HTTP GET
* Prerequisites: None
* CWE: Session Fixation, Session Hijacking
* Technical Impact: Logging in as another user
* Vulnerable query URL: /anyfile.php?PHPSESSID=123
* Vulnerable GET parameter: PHPSESSID
3) Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
### Details
* Attack Vector: HTTP GET
* Prerequisites: None
* CWE: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
* Technical Impact: Information leak
* Vulnerable query URL: /anything/authenticate
If on the place of /anything/ in the url an existing class is entered that classes main function would be executed leaking (some) internal data.
e.g.
/index.php/logs/authenticate/
/index.php/admin/validateAuthentication/
