Gravity Board X <= 1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS, PD, Cmd Exe)

high Nessus Plugin ID 19400

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running Gravity Board X, an open source, web-based electronic forum written in PHP.

The version of Gravity Board X installed on the remote host suffers from several flaws, including :

- Unauthorized Access Vulnerability The 'editcss.php' script does not require authentication before writing user-supplied input to template files. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker may be able to deface the affected site or run arbitrary PHP code (see below).

- SQL Injection Vulnerability The application does not sanitize user-supplied input to the 'email' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it in database queries. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can bypass authentication and possibly disclose or modify data or launch attacks against the underlying database.

- Arbitrary PHP Code Execution Vulnerability Using either of the two previous flaws, an attacker can inject arbitrary PHP code into template files, which will then be executed on the remote host within the context of the web server userid with each page view.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
