Product & Service Introduction:  
===============================  
It offers numerous opportunities to present pictures quickly and easily  
in articles. The unique feature of the plugin is  
that you can control any parameter on the syntax call. Editor Button -  
SIGE Parameters: With the button, you can set the  
parameters very easy on-the-fly in an article. It is an excellent  
addition to SIGE. Highlights are: parameter call, watermark  
function, read IPTC data, thumbnail storage, crop function, sort by  
modification date, output as a list, CSS Image Tooltip,  
Editor Button SIGE Parameter and much more. In version 1.7-2, SIGE was  
rewritten entirely and equipped with numerous innovations.  
The absolute highlight is the turbo mode. This feature doesn't exist in  
any other plugin for Joomla!. In Turbo Mode 2 text files  
are created from the HTML output of the gallery and loaded in successive  
runs. This feature eliminates the tedious editing  
process of each image. In a test with 50 large images, the creation of a  
gallery with all the extra features (save thumbnails,  
watermark generation, resize original images, etc.) without turbo mode  
lasted approximately 17 seconds. In turbo mode, it only  
took 1 second, and the gallery on the same scale was available! For  
calling the syntaxes, additionally, an Editor Button has  
been programmed. It makes it very easy to choose the required syntax,  
showing all the settings and parameters of the plugin.  
It is a great enrichment in using the SIGE plugin.

Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
1.1  
A file include vulnerability has been discovered in the official Simple  
Image Gallery Extended (SIGE) v3.4.1 & v3.5.3 pro extension for joomla.  
The web vulnerability allows remote attackers to unauthorized upload  
web-shells or malicious contents to compromise the local file-system.  
  
The vulnerability is located in the img parameter of the print.php file.  
Remote attackers are able to upload images to the unrestricted assets  
path to compromise the web-applications file-system and involved  
database management system. Exploitation requires no user interaction  
and only  
a low privileged user account to upload images.  
  
  
1.2  
Multiple non-persistent cross site web vulnerabilities has been  
discovered in the official Simple Image Gallery Extended (SIGE) v3.4.1 &  
v3.5.3 pro extension for joomla.  
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script  
codes with non-persistent attack vector to compromise browser to  
web-application requests from the client-side.  
  
The non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerabilities are located  
in the `name` and `title` parameters of the `print.php` file.  
Remote attackers without user or guest privileges are able to make own  
malicious special crafted links to compromise client-side  
GET method requests. The attack vector is non-persistent and the issue  
affects the client-side.  
  
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session  
hijacking, non-persistent phishing attacks, non-persistent  
external redirects to malicious source and non-persistent client-side  
manipulation of affected application modules.  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
1.1  
The remote file include web vulnerability can be exploited by remote  
attackers without privileged user account or user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the persistent cross site web  
vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

1.2  
The non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability can be  
exploited by remote attackers without privileged user account and with  
low user interaction.

Solution - Fix & Patch:  
=======================  
1.1  
The remote file include vulnerability issue can be resolved by the  
following steps ...  
  
Example :  
?php  
$files=array('test.gif');  
if(in_array($_GET['file'], $files)){  
include ($_GET['file']);  
}  
?  
* If you are a server administrator, turn off allow_url_fopen from the file  
  
* Or do it with the ini_set command. Only for (RFI)  
?php  
ini_set('allow_url_fopen ', 'Off');  
?  
  
* We can use the strpos command to check that if the address is: //  
http, the file will not be enclosed  
?php  
$strpos = strpos($_GET['url'],'http://');  
if(!$strpos){  
include($_GET['url']);  
}  
?  
  
* Using str_replace we can give the given address from two characters  
"/", "." Let's clean up  
?php  
$url=$_GET['url'];  
$url = str_replace("/", "", $url);  
$url = str_replace(".", "", $url);  
include($url);  
?  
  
  
1.2  
The client-side cross site scripting vulnerabilities can be resolved by  
the following steps ...  
1. Encode and escape as parse the name and title parameters  
2. Filter the input for special chars and disallow them in parameters  
  
  
Security Risk:  
==============  
1.1  
The securit risk of the remote file include vulnerability in the img  
path of the web-application request is estimated as high.  
  
1.2  
The security risk of the non-persistent cross site scripting  
vulnerabilities is estimated as medium.
