Upgrade ke Joomla 1.5.10
Last Updated :: Sunday, 07 March 2010 23:23 by Riesurya@MOTW
Kiranya peralihan dari Joomla 1.5.9 ke Joomla 1.6.x mengalami penundaan (sotoy ON). Setelah seharian menginstall ulang WinXXX (sambil ditinggal tidur ) dan saat update POP3Mail ternyata ada berita baru dari Joomla Security Strike Team (JSST). Wuih kaget banget, bukan kenapa-kenapa, soalnya kalo email dari JSST isinya ya bisa ditebak, seputar keamanan system Joomla, emangnya ada yang lain (info caleg...gak laku kalee ....)Ternyata, isinya sederhana saja, agar pengguna Joomla 1.5.9 (atau dibawahnya, khusus J1.5.x) untuk melakukan upgrade atau sederhananya melakukan patch ke J1.5.10. Apakah begitu beresikonya hingga harus diupgrade? baca terus ya..
berikut kutipan dari emal sekuriti yang dikirim oleh JSST :
Description
A series of XSS and CSRF faults exist in the administrator application. Affected administrator components include com_admin, com_media, com_search. Both com_admin and com_search contain XSS vulnerabilities, and com_media contains 2 CSRF vulnerabilities.
Affected Installs
All 1.5.x installs prior to and including 1.5.9 are affected. The com_search XSS vulnerability requires that "Gather Search Statistics" be enabled to be exploitable (Disabled by default).
solusinya
Upgrade to latest Joomla! version (1.5.10 or newer).
Status:
Target : com_content
Tingkat resiko : Low
Versi Joomla : 1.5.9 dan semua rilis J1.5 sebelumnya
Jenis Eksploit : XSS (Cross Site Scripting)
Ditemukan: 12 Maret 2009
Perbaikan : 27 Maret 2009
Meskipun dinyatakan tingkat resiko (severity) adalah Low (rendah) namun siapa yang berani ambil resiko. Dari keterangan waktu ditemukan (reported date) hingga rilis Patch, berarti sekitar 2 minggu JSST Team dan Joomla Core Developer bekerja melakukan patch terhadap file-file pada default system Joomla, dan tampaknya tidak hanya itu ada beberapa perbaikan yang juga disertakan, antara lain :
- validasi terhadap Sindikasi berita Atom feed (ini salah satu hal yang sempat bikin stress juga saat memvalidasi RSS Atom beberapa waktu lalu)
- perbaikan translasi
- Validasi XHTML output pada com_content dan com_contact
- perbaikan pada system Caching
- Sort ordering pada Categories (admin panel) sudah bisa reverse order
dan masih banyak lagi dengan total 75 Patch yang disertakan hingga dirilislah versi Joomla 1.5.10 dengan kode :"Wohmamni" (tadi sempat salah baca: "Wo a ni"... he he he). (dihitung manual dari Changelog J.1.5.10)
Ada apa dengan XSS (baca Cross Site Scripting), bukan X tiga kali :-P an Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) yang menjadi resiko pada suatu website.
Menurut Wikipedia:
Cross-site request forgery, also known as one-click attack or session riding and abbreviated as CSRF ("sea-surf"[1]) or XSRF, is a type of malicious exploit of a website whereby unauthorized commands are transmitted from a user that the website trusts.[2] Unlike cross-site scripting (XSS), which exploits the trust a user has for a particular site, CSRF exploits the trust that a site has in a user's browser.
sedangkan XSS sendiri :
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications which allow code injection by malicious web users into the web pages viewed by other users. Examples of such code include HTML code and client-side scripts. An exploited cross-site scripting vulnerability can be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy. Vulnerabilities of this kind have been exploited to craft powerful phishing attacks and browser exploits. As of 2007, cross-site scripting carried out on websites were roughly 80% of all documented security vulnerabilities.[1] Often during an attack "everything looks fine" to the end-user[2] who may be subject to unauthorized access, theft of sensitive data, and financial loss.
Berhubung saya sudah ngantuk, kalo bingung bacanya, silakan gunakan Google Translator (cara simple). Kalo gak lupa ntar ditranslate sekalian (pake Google Translator juga kali ya ..:D )
