Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in RunCMS which could be exploited to perform cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in RunCMS
The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "rc2_user" cookie in user.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of the vulnerable website.
Exploitation example:
GET /user.php HTTP/1.1
Cookie: rc2_user='><script>alert("XSS")%3b</script>


2) SQL injection vulnerability in RunCMS
The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation errors in the "timezone_offset" parameter in register.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary SQL commands in application`s database. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to read, modify, add or delete arbitrary data in the database.
Exploitation example:
POST /register.php HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 299
