SNS Vulnerability

activeCollab Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in activeCollab, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed to the "login[email]" POST parameter in public/index.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) Input passed to the "project[name]" POST parameter in public/index.php (when "path_info" is set to "projects/add") is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
These vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.3.4.
3) Input passed via the "milestone[assignees][0][]" parameter to public/index.php (when "path_info" is set to "projects/1/milestones/add") and "ticket[assignees][0][]" parameter to public/index.php (when "path_info" is set to "projects/1/tickets/add") is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
4) The application does not restrict access to the public/upgrade/execute.php script and can be exploited to e.g. reset the passwords of all users.
5) Input passed to the "widget_id" parameter in public/index.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
6) Input passed to the "current_version" and "final_version" parameters in public/upgrade/include/upgrade_steps.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
7) Input passed to the "group" and "step" POST parameters in public/upgrade/execute.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
These vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.3.10.
