admincp: Extra Security (htaccess) · **Released**: 01-04-2010

First of all: this isn?t my mod. I?have this one on my forums now for 4 or 5 years and was looking around here at vb.org for it but it seems it?s gone (or may be it never was released here). Yet, I haven?t found it so I tested this in vb4 and it works. Guess it?s quite useful for some of you so I share this with you.

This mod adds some extra security to your admincp. And your admincp only. The modcp remains untouched, so mods can access the modcp without a secondary login.

Files to edit: 1
Install time: 1 minute

Open admincp/index.php on your server.

Above:

PHP Code:


			
// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

add this:

PHP Code:


			
$index['public'] = $index['public'];
$phpkd['username'] = "Username";    // Here Is the User Name
$phpkd['password'] = "Password";    // Here Is The htaccess Password

if(!$index['public']){
if($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $phpkd['username'] || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $phpkd['password']){
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Security Check\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");echo "<head><title>Unauthorized Login attempt</title></head><body bgcolor='#FFFFFF'><center><br>
<a href=\"../index.php\" style=\"text-decoration: none\" target=\"_self\">
<font face=\"MS Sans Serif\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"4\"><b><br>Unauthorized Login</b></a></body></html>";exit;}}

Change "Username" and "Password" to whatever you want, save and upload the file to your admincp (overwrite the old index.php or rename it first to index.php.old) and you?re done. Fast and simple.

If the original author is still around hit me back so you can release this one under your name.

<input type=submit value=' Login '>  
 
 
</form>  
";  
 
exit;  
 
}  
 
}

two possible security issues here:

1) depending on PHP's session.save_path value(php.ini) if this is set to a world readable/writable directory like "/tmp" for example it might be possible for unauthorized users to get something which doesn't belong to them.session.save_path should be set to a non world readable/writable directory outside off your webroot then and only then your sessions are secure

2) usage of $_POST values directly without any form of sanitazation this could open the door to XSS(Cross Site Scripting) holes you should use

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->GPC['variable'];

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
