TITLE:
PastelCMS SQL Injection and Local File Inclusion

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34853

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34853/

DESCRIPTION:
SirGod has discovered some vulnerabilities in PastelCMS, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or
conduct SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "set_lng" parameter in index.php is not
properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via
directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

2) Input passed to the "user" parameter in admin.php 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 allow bypassing the authentication mechanism,
but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.8.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
SirGod
