Invision Power Board SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in Invision Power Board, which may be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands or conduct Cross Site Scripting attacks. The first flaw is due to an input validation error in the "sources/login.php" file that does not properly filter specially crafted cookie ID parameters, which may be exploited to conduct SQL injection attacks. The second vulnerability is due to an input validation error in the "topics.php" script when handling a specially crafted "highlite" variable, which may be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser.
