SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA17724

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17724/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Softbiz Web Hosting Directory Script 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/6212/

DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported some vulnerabilities in Softbiz Web Host Directory
Script, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed to the "cid" parameter in "search_result.php" and
"browsecats.php", to the "sbres_id" parameter in "review.php", and to
the "h_id" parameter in "email.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.

Example:
http://[host]/search_result.php?cid=[sql]
http://[host]/browsecats.php?cid=[sql]
http://[host]/review.php?sbres_id=[sql]
http://[host]/email.php?&h_id=[sql]

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.1. Prior versions
may also be affected.

Note: It is also possible to reveal the script install path in SQL
error messages.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
