TITLE:
Direct Topics Script Insertion and SQL Injection

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA15353

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/15353/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Direct Topics 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/5092/

DESCRIPTION:
Morinex Eneco has reported two vulnerabilities in Direct Topics,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script
insertion and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "topic" parameter in "topic.php" isn't
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Certain input passed in BB Code is not properly sanitised before
being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script
code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of
an affected site when the malicious post is viewed.

Example:
[img]javascript:[code][/img]

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2, 2.1 and 2.2.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
