SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19895/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Ruperts News Script
http://secunia.com/product/9654/

DESCRIPTION:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has reported a vulnerability in Ruperts News
Script, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed to the "username" parameter in login.php is not properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation e.g. allows bypassing the login process, but
requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in the latest version (dated
2004-10-14).

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

Use another product.
