ArticleSetup Multiple Vulnerabilities


Description   Antu Sanadi has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in ArticleSetup, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion and SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "s" parameter to search.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 via the "title", "body", and "resource" parameters to submit.php 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 "cat" parameter to feed.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
4) Input passed via the the "s" parameter to search.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
5) Input passed via the "userid" and "password" parameters to login.php and admin/login.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
NOTE: This vulnerability can further be exploited to bypass the authentication mechanism but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.10. Other versions may also be affected.
