DataLife Engine 9.7 (preview.php) PHP Code Injection Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------
[-] Software Link:
http://dleviet.com/
[-] Affected Version:
9.7 only.
[-] Vulnerability Description:
The vulnerable code is located in the /engine/preview.php script:
246. $c_list = implode (',', $_REQUEST['catlist']);
247.
248. if( strpos( $tpl->copy_template, "[catlist=" ) !== false ) {
249. $tpl->copy_template = preg_replace( "#\\[catlist=(.+?)\\](.*?)\\[/catlist\\]#ies", "check_category('\\1', '\\2', '{$c_list}')", $tpl->copy_template );
250. }
251.
252. if( strpos( $tpl->copy_template, "[not-catlist=" ) !== false ) {
253. $tpl->copy_template = preg_replace( "#\\[not-catlist=(.+?)\\](.*?)\\[/not-catlist\\]#ies", "check_category('\\1', '\\2', '{$c_list}', false)", $tpl->copy_template );
254. }
User supplied input passed through the $_REQUEST['catlist'] parameter is not properly
sanitized before being used in a preg_replace() call with the e modifier at lines 249 and 253.
This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation of
this vulnerability requires a template which contains a “catlist” (or a “not-catlist”) tag.
