OpenX Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Description

High-Tech Bridge has discovered two vulnerabilities in OpenX, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "parent" GET parameter to /www/admin/plugin-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 via the "ids[]" POST parameter to /www/admin/campaign-zone-link.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.8.10. Other versions may also be affected.
