'PHP Grade Book' Unauthenticated SQL Database Export (CVE-2012-1670)
Mark Stanislav - mark.stanislav@...il.com


I. DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------
A vulnerability exists in admin/index.php that allows for an
unauthenticated user to export the entire application database by
accessing the 'Database Backup' method without restriction. Due to the
way sessions are handled, an attacker can then simply pass the
username and password-hash via cookies to assume the administrative
role without ever knowing the clear-text version of the password.


II. TESTED VERSION
---------------------------------------
1.9.4


III. PoC EXPLOIT
---------------------------------------
http://localhost/phpGradeBook/admin/index.php?action=SaveSQL


IV. SOLUTION
---------------------------------------
Upgrade to 1.9.5 or above.
