TITLE:
Bloginator Security Bypass and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34395

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34395/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Bloginator, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions
and malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.

1) The application allows access to the admin interface by checking
if a certain cookie exists. This can be exploited to gain
administrative access to the application by creating the cookie
"identifyYourself" and assigning it any value.

2) Input passed to the "id" parameter in articleCall.php is not
properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1A. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and
proper access restrictions are implemented.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
FireShot, Jacopo Vuga
