TITLE:
Quicksilver Forums Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38735

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38735/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Quicksilver
Forums, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose
sensitive information and by malicious people to disclose sensitive
information and conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) The application passes the database password via the command line
to the "mysqldump" utility, which may disclose the password via the
process list.

2) The database backup functionality stores the database backup with
a semi-predictable file name inside the web root. This can be
exploited to download the backup by guessing the file name.

Additionally, database backup files are changed to world read- and
writable access permissions.

3) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary SQL queries
by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious web
site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.4.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application. Do not use the database backup
functionality and restrict access to existing backup files.
