---------------------------------------------------------------------- Use WSUS to deploy 3rd party patches Public BETA http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/corporate/wsus_3rd_third_party_patching/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Employee Timeclock Software Multiple Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA38739 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/38739/ DESCRIPTION: Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Employee Timeclock Software, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information and by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and conduct SQL injection attacks. 1) The database backup functionality stores the database backup with a semi-predictable file name inside the web root. This can be exploited to download the backup by guessing the file name. 2) Input passed to the "username" and "password" parameters in auth.php and login_action.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to modify SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. 3) The application passes the database password via the command line to the "mysqldump" utility, which potentially can be exploited to disclose the password via the process list. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.99. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do not use the database backup functionality and restrict access to existing backup files.
