====================
Deutsche Telekom (German Telecom)
Product: Profil Bild Online Service - Web Application 2013 Q4


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Critical


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A rRemote Code Execution vulnerability has been discovered in the official Telekom online-service web-application.
The remote vulnerability allows attackers to inject unauthorized system commands to compromise the affected machine.

The Remote Code Execution vulnerability is located in the `downloadImage.php` and `process.php` file. The vulnerable 
parameter value is the `locCode`. Remote attackers can manipulate the POST method request with the ImgType values 
to inject/execute own php commands. 

Exploitation of the sql issue does not require a low privileged web-applicaton user account without user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in system & web-application (service) compromise.

Vulnerable Module(s):
        [+] telekom.de (profilbildtool)

Vulnerable File(s):
        [+] downloadImage.php
        [+] process.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
        [+] locCode > AT


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The remote code execution vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without user interaction or privileged user accounts.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below.

because ...

locCode=AT'+and+'a'='a
is TRUE you will see that the image has "AT" in the top left corner 

Repeat with these two requests ...

Because ...

the condition is FALSE 
the image won't have AT in the TOP corner


To doublecheck

Now you will see that the image has AR in the top left 

corner ... Why AR?? 
If you check the page ... https://profilbildtool.telekom.de/imagecropper.php?lang=en

you will find in type of activity section the Lead Accounts 

parameter, the first item in the list is AR which 
is the result when the OR condition is TRUE it returns all the locations and it chooses the first one.
