Advisory Details:

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

1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in LoudBlog
The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "id" parameter in loudblog/index.php when "page" is set to "comments" or "record2". 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]/loudblog/index.php?page=comments&do=x&id=%3Cscript%3Ealert%281 23%29;%3C/script%3E
http://[host]/loudblog/index.php?page=record2&do=edit&i d=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28123%29;%3C/script%3E


2) SQL injection vulnerabilities in LoudBlog
2.1 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation errors in the "test" parameter in loudblog/ajax.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP 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:
http://[host]/loudblog/ajax.php?test=%27%20union%20select%20version%28%29%20 --%201
2.2 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation errors in the "id" parameter in loudblog/index.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP 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:
http://[host]/loudblog/index.php?page=record2&do=edit&id=%27%20union%20selec t%201,2,3,4,version%28%2 9,6%20--%202
