VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/15029/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
Manipulation of data
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
phpbb-Auction 1.x (module for phpBB)
http://secunia.com/product/4941/
DESCRIPTION:
sNKenjoi has reported two vulnerabilities in the phpbb-Auction module
for phpBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.
Input passed to the "u" parameter in "auction_rating.php" and the
"ar" parameter in "auction_offer.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.
It is also possible to disclose the full path to
"auction_myauctions.php" via an invalid value for the "mode"
parameter.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.2m and prior.
Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
