DESCRIPTION:
Antu Sanadi has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in ArticleSetup,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
and SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed via the "s" parameter to search.php is not 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.

2) Input passed via the "title", "body", and "resource" parameters to
submit.php is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
when the malicious data is being viewed.

3) Input passed via the "cat" parameter to feed.php is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

4) Input passed via the the "s" parameter to search.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 of this vulnerability requires that
"magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

5) Input passed via the "userid" and "password" parameters to
login.php and admin/login.php is not properly sanitised before being
used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

NOTE: This vulnerability can further be exploited to bypass the
authentication mechanism but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.10. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Antu Sanadi, SecPod Technologies.
