TITLE:
New 5 Star Rating System "myusername" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34820

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34820/

DESCRIPTION:
zer0day has discovered a vulnerability in New 5 Star Rating System,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed via the "myusername" parameter to admin/admin_class.php
is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can
be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL
code.

Successful exploitation allows e.g. logging in as administrator
without valid user credentials.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
