Jobs Portal Multiple Script Insertion and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities


Description   Vulnerability Laboratory Research has reported multiple vulnerabilities in Jobs Portal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "first_name", "last_name", and "address" parameters to JOBSEEKERS/index.php (when "category" is set to "profile" and "action" is set to "edit") when creating the user's profile 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.
2) Input passed via the "file_description" parameter to JOBSEEKERS/index.php (when "category" is set to "documents" and "action" is set to "add") when uploading a document 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 "apply_id" parameter to EMPLOYERS/index.php (when "category" is set to "application_management" and "page" is set to "details") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.0. Other versions may also be affected.
