  • Comment: Error after configuration

    Are you running this on your own box (a test platform, perhaps)? It looks like you have two problems: This will help with problem #1: http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-english/2005-March/002664.html The problem is with the Apache server setting "allow_url_fopen". There are good security reasons for leaving that to "off". Apparently, wheatblog requires it to be set to "on."...

  • Comment: Serious security issues in using include/include_once

    Logged In: YES user_id=168317 Petteri, You are correct that .htaccess is an Apace-specific control. We only test the app on Apache, so we could make Apache a requirement, which it already is, for the most part. I know of no one running the app under other webservers. And I certainly don't have the time to test it under other servers. So relying on .htaccess would be require making...

  • Comment: Serious security issues in using include/include_once

    Logged In: YES user_id=168317 Peiter, No one is asking anyone to "play around with .htaccess files." The files in question would be included with the distribution. They users will install these files along with all the other files that they already have to install. To then, it's just a matter of uploading a directory. If they can't handle that, they don't need to be installing...

  • Comment: Serious security issues in using include/include_once

    Logged In: YES user_id=168317 All, Instead of (or, perhaps, in addition to) coding around this problem in PHP, why not use .htaccess to prevent remote file inclusion: Order allow,deny Deny from all We could include .htaccess files for all of the relevant directories (admin/, includes/, classes/). As to Petteri's point about blocking additional...

  • Comment: Serious security issues in using include/include_once

    Logged In: YES user_id=168317 Here's a little test loop I've been working on: // set vars for testing ("/path" or "http://") $wb_session_dir = "http://example.com"; // check the vars $var_to_check = array("$wb_dir", "$wb_inc_dir", "$wb_admin_dir", "$wb_class_dir", "$wb_session_dir"); for($i=0; $i<5; $i++) { if (preg_match('/^http/i', $var_to_check[$i])...

  • Comment: Serious security issues in using include/include_once

    Logged In: YES user_id=168317 I think the quick fix will be to wrap all include/require statements with some variable checking, following Pete's example (slightly corrected to include single quotes around the match string): if ( preg_match('/^http/', $wb_class_dir) ) die('Error: remote file inclusion is not supported.'); The unstable branch already sets most of this stuff in the.

    Logged In: YES user_id=168317 Note: this bug will also affect previous versions of wB. I'm grouping it under version 1.1 for convenience. Wheat.
