MyBB Tips Of The Day Plugin Script Insertion and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities


Description   Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tips Of The Day plugin for MyBB, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "tiptle" and "tip" POST parameters to misc.php (when "tips" is set to "do_newtip") 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 if malicious data is viewed.
2) Input passed via the "tip" parameter to admin/index.php (when "action" is set to "edittip" and "module" is set to "config-tipsoftheday") is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires access to the administrative section.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.
