TITLE:
PHP Live Helper Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31521

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31521/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information, System
access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHP Live Helper 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/19620/

DESCRIPTION:
James Bercegay has reported some vulnerabilities in PHP Live Helper,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "dep" parameter in onlinestatus_html.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 of this vulnerability allows e.g. retrieval
of administrator passwords.

2) Input passed to unspecified parameters in libsecure.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to
overwrite variables from the db config file, and allows e.g. the
execution of arbitrary PHP code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
"register_globals" is enabled.

3) Input passed to the "test" parameter in chat.php (when "rg" is set
to "0") is not properly sanitised before being used in "eval()" calls.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.0.
