Medium


Details:
========
Multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities  are detected in the Classified
Ads Script PHP 1.1  Content Management System.
The vulnerability allows an attacker (remote) or local low privileged
user account to inject/execute own sql commands
on the affected application dbms without user inter action. The
vulnerability is located in the admin.php file with the
bound vulnerable orderType & orderBy parameters. Successful exploitation
of the vulnerability results in dbms & application compromise.

Vulnerable File(s):
                                        [+] admin.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                        [+] orderType
                                        [+] orderby


Proof of Concept:
=================
The SQL Injection vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers
with privileged user account & without required user inter action.
For demonstration or reproduce ...
