TITLE:
cpLinks Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30024

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30024/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
cpLinks 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/18561/

DESCRIPTION:
InjEctOr has reported some vulnerabilities in cpLinks, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL
injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "admin_username" parameter in admin/index.php,
and to the "search_text" and "search_category" parameters in
search.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL
queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation allows to gain access to the administration
section, but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

2) Input passed to the "search_text" and "search_category" parameters
in search.php is also not properly sanitised before being returned to
the user in an SQL error. 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 reported in version 1.03. Other versions may
also be affected.

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