PluggedOut Nexus SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting
Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA17909

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17909/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PluggedOut Nexus 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/6366/

DESCRIPTION:
r0t has discovered some vulnerabilities in PluggedOut Nexus, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection and
cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "firstname", "lastname" and "location"
parameters in "search.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) Input passed to the "firstname", "lastname" and "location"
parameters in "search.php" isn't properly sanitised before being
returned to the user in an SQL error message. This can be exploited
to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session
in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

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