CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Exposure of system information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Boardsolution 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/9386/

DESCRIPTION:
Qex has reported a vulnerability in Boardsolution, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose system information and
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "keyword" parameter in index.php when performing
a search isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user
via a 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.

This can also be exploited to disclose the full path to the
installation via an invalid "keyword" parameter.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.12. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and
that SQL error messages are not returned to users.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Qex
