CVE-2020-25132 | |
------------------------------------------ | |
SQL Injection leads to full authentication bypass | |
------------------------------------------ | |
[Description] | |
Penetration test has shown that the application is vulnerable to SQL Injection due to the fact that it is possible to inject malicious SQL statements in malformed parameter types. Sending improper variable type “Array” allows to bypass core SQL Injection sanitization. Users are able to inject malicious statements in multiple functions. This vulnerability leads to full authentication bypass, any unauthorized user with access to application is able to exploit this vulnerability | |
------------------------------------------ | |
[Additional Information] | |
Please note that Proof of Concepts regarding SQL injection points works even without the “debug” parameter that was included in the request. Debug was only added due to better track insertion point. | |
We want to mention that the source code of Observium was downloaded from the following URL: | |
http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz | |
We have tested this vulnerability on CE and PRO version (Paid), both softwares were vulnerable. | |
Vulnerability was exploited by sending crafted variable type "Array". Core sanitization does not properly handle this type of parameters. | |
Example Request that allow to bypass authorization by sending Array "ckey[]" parameter with injected SQL queries: | |

Below we present vulnerable code: | |
/var/opt/observium/html/includes/authenticate.inc.php | |
188 $ckey = dbFetchRow("SELECT * FROM `users_ckeys` WHERE `user_uniq` = ? AND `user_ckey` = ? LIMIT 1", | |
189 array($user_unique_id, $_COOKIE['ckey'])); | |
Attacker is able to login on any account that exists in "users_ckeys" table without username or password, we reproduced login on administrator in our environment. | |
