MBB CMS Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MBB CMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "q" parameter to index.php (when "ref" is set to search, or "mod" is set to "article" and "act" is set to "search") 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) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add an administrator by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious web site.
3) Input passed via the "q" parameter to index.php (when "ref" is set to search, or "mod" is set to "article" and "act" is set to "search") 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 multiple parameters to index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
List of affected parameters:
<a href="http://[host]/index.php?mod=article&act=detail&id
" target="_blank">http://[host]/index.php?mod=article&act=detail&id
</a>
<a href="http://[host]/index.php?mod=article&act=category&catid
" target="_blank">http://[host]/index.php?mod=article&act=category&catid
</a>
<a href="http://[host]/index.php?ref=page&pid
" target="_blank">http://[host]/index.php?ref=page&pid
</a>
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.0.3.1. Other versions may also be affected.
