Original is a simple but efficient web based task manager written in PHP." Product Link: http://www.taskfreak.com/original ====================================================================== 4) Description of Vulnerability Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in TaskFreak, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed via the "password" parameter to login.php (when "username" is set to a valid user) is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query in include/classes/tzn_user.php. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation allows bypassing the authentication mechanism, but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. ====================================================================== 5) Solution Update to version 0.6.4. ====================================================================== 6) Time Table 10/06/2010 - Vendor notified. 10/06/2010 - Vendor response. 23/06/2010 - Requested a status update. 24/06/2010 - Vendor response. 28/06/2010 - Vendor releases fixed version. 29/06/2010 - Public disclosure. ====================================================================== 7) Credits Discovered by Secunia Research. ====================================================================== 8) References The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned CVE-2010-1521 for the vulnerability. ====================================================================== 9) About Secunia Secunia offers vulnerability management solutions to corporate customers with verified and reliable vulnerability intelligence relevant to their specific system configuration: http://secunia.com/advisories/business_solutions/ Secunia also provides a publicly accessible and comprehensive advisory database as a service to the security community and private individuals, who are interested in or concerned about IT-security. http://secunia.com/advisories/ Secunia believes that it is important to support the community and to do active vulnerability research in order to aid improving the security and reliability of software in general: http://secunia.com/secunia_research/ Secunia regularly hires new skilled team members.
