Advisory Details: |
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in SyndeoCMS which could be exploited to perform cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in SyndeoCMS
1.1 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "loc_id" parameter in starnet/addons/page_slideshow.php and /starnet/addons/tv.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 examples:
http://[host]/starnet/addons/page_slideshow.php?loc_id=1"></iframe><script>a lert("XSS");</script>
h ttp://[host]/starnet/addons/tv.php?loc_id=1"></iframe><script>alert("XSS");< /script>
1.2 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "speed" parameter in starnet/addons/scroll_page. 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:
http://[host]/starnet/addons/scroll_page.php?speed=--%3E%3C/script%3E%3C/hea d%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28 %22XSS%22%29;%3C/script%3E
2) SQL injection vulnerability in SyndeoCMS
The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation errors in the "user_username" parameter in starnet\modules\sn_studentpages\user_login.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 examples:
<form action="http://[host]/index.php?section=4&page=3" method="post" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="user_username" value="1'SQL_CODE_HERE" />
<input type="hidden" name="user_password" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="userlogin" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" />
