DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the
Universal Post Manager plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection
attacks.
1) Input passed to the "num" parameter in
wp-content/plugins/universal-post-manager/template/email_screen_1.php
and
wp-content/plugins/universal-post-manager/template/email_screen_2.php
and the "number" parameter in
/wp-content/plugins/universal-post-manager/template/bookmarks_slider_h.php
is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
"register_globals" is enabled.
2) Input passed via the "qid" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/universal-post-manager/includes/poll_logs.php and
the "PID" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/universal-post-manager/includes/poll_result.php
(when "do" is set to "result") is not properly sanitised before being
used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0.9. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
