Description
|
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Jara, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "id" parameter to view.php is not properly sanitised in the "jara_write_post()" function in include/templating_fns.php before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
2) Input passed via the "term" 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.
3) Input passed via the "id" parameter to category.php is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
4) Input passed via the "username" and "password" parameters to login.php (when "loginaction" is set) is not properly sanitised in the "jara_user_authenticate()" function in include/auth_fns.php before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
5) Input passed via multiple parameters to multiple scripts is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
List of affected scripts and parameters:
<a href="http://[host]/admin/delete_page.php?id
" target="_blank">http://[host]/admin/delete_page.php?id
</a>
<a href="http://[host]/admin/delete_post.php?id

</a>
<a href="http://[host]/admin/edit_post.php?id
" target="_blank">http://[host]/admin/edit_post.php?id
