SNS Vulnerability

PHP-Fusion Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP-Fusion, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "news_id" POST parameter to administration/news.php (when "aid" is set and "news_id" GET parameter is set to "1") 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 the permission to administer news.
2) Input passed via the "submit_id" GET parameter to administration/submissions.php (when "aid" is set, "action" is set to "2", and "t" is set to "n") 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 the permission to administer submissions.
3) Input passed via the "status" GET parameter to administration/members.php (when "aid" is set) 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 the permission to administer members.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 7.02.07. Other versions may also be affected.
