CVE Reference:
GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Jan 6 2006
|
Impact:
Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of system information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information, User access via network
|
Exploit Included: Yes
|
Version(s): 1.2.1
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in TheWebForum. A remote user can inject SQL commands and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The software does not properly validate user-supplied input. If magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, a remote user can supply a specially crafted parameter value to execute SQL commands on the underlying database.
The 'username' parameter in 'login.php' is affected. A remote user can exploit this to bypass authentication.
The 'register.php' script does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input in the 'www' parameter before displaying the input. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the TheWebForum software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
