TITLE:
PHPCollab "Forgot password" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19449

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19449/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHPCollab 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/9001/

DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability in PHPCollab, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "User Name" field in "/general/sendpassword.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.

Successful exploitation potentially allows the admin user's password
hash to be disclosed, but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.4 and also reported
in version 2.5 rc3. Other versions may also be affected.

Note: It is also reported that the admin user can inject PHP code
into the "settings.php" file via specially-crafted input passed to
the "Ftp server" field.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
