Memory Book! Component SQL Injection and File Upload Vulnerability SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA37926 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/37926/ DESCRIPTION: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Memory Book! component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. 1) Input passed to the event description when adding a new event 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 may require a valid user account. 2) The security issue is caused due to the application improperly validating uploaded files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a PHP file with e.g. an appended ".jpg" file extension. Successful exploitation may require a valid user account that Apache is not configured to handle the mime-type for uploadable media files. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified.
