TITLE:
exoops Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14697

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14697/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
exoops 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/4809/

DESCRIPTION:
Diabolic Crab has reported some vulnerabilities in exoops, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "sortdays" parameter in
"modules/newbb/viewforum.php" and "viewcat" parameter in
"modules/newbb/index.php" isn't 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.

Input passed to the "viewcat" parameter in "modules/newbb/index.php"
and "artid" parameter in "modules/sections/index.php" isn't properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Diabolic Crab
