wordcircle Script Insertion and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18440/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
wordcircle 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/6805/

DESCRIPTION:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has discovered two vulnerabilities in
wordcircle, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
script insertion and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the course name field when adding a new course
isn't 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 user data is viewed.

2) Input passed to the password field when logging in isn't properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 2.17. Other
versions may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
