TITLE:
Article Dashboard SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26163

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26163/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Article Dashboard
http://secunia.com/product/15262/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Article Dashboard, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "id" parameter in article.php (when "act" is
set to "print") is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL
query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

2) Input passed to multiple form field parameters (e.g.
"f_emailaddress", "f_reemailaddress") in signup.php is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in the version downloaded
2007-07-25. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Enable "magic_quotes_gpc" and filter malicious characters and
character sequences in a web proxy.
