TITLE:
PHPStatus Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA18791

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18791/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

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

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHPStatus 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/7956/

DESCRIPTION:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has reported some vulnerabilities in PHPStatus,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting and SQL injection attacks, and bypass certain security
restrictions.

1) Input passed to the "username" parameter in "check.php" during
login 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.

Some other unspecified parameters and scripts in the administration
section are reportedly also affected.

2) An error in the authentication process in "check.php" can be
exploited to bypass the authentication process by defining certain
cookie parameters.

3) Some input passed to unspecified parameters and scripts in the
administration section isn't properly sanitised before being returned
to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and
script code in an administrator's browser session in context of an
affected site.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and
that users are properly authenticated.
