TITLE:
Brim SQL Injection and Script Insertion Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31661

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31661/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive
information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Brim 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/19688/

DESCRIPTION:
Fisher762 has discovered two vulnerabilities in Brim, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion and SQL
injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "value" parameter in index.php (when "plugin"
is set to "tasks" and "action" to "searchTasks") 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 allows e.g. retrieval
of administrator usernames and password hashes, but requires valid
user credentials and that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

2) Input passed to the "name" parameter in index.php (when "plugin"
is set to "bookmarks" and "action" to "addItemPost") is not properly
sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's browser
session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is
viewed.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that both the
attacker and the victim have valid user credentials.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.0.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Grant user access to trusted people only.
