Moderately critical

SOFTWARE:

DESCRIPTION:
luny has reported some vulnerabilities in AlstraSoft Article Manager
Pro, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "author_id" parameter in profile.php and the
"aut_id" parameter in userarticles.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 in submit_article.php when submitting an article
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.

It has also been reported that it is possible to disclose the full
path to certain scripts by accessing them with invalid parameters.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.6. Other versions
may also be affected.

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