Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered multiple vulnerabilities in my little forum, which can be exploited to perform SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The SQL injection vulnerabilities have medium risk assigned as they can be exploited under administrator account or via XSRF vector. 


1) SQL Injection in my little forum: CVE-2015-1434

1.1 Input passed via the "edit_category" HTTP GET parameter to "/index.php" script is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Simple PoC code below will create a file in web root with phpinfo() function (if MySQL has enough privileges, and current web user can write into the directory):

http://[host]/index.php?mode=admin&edit_category=' UNION SELECT 1,2,3,'<? phpinfo() ?>' INTO OUTFILE '/var/www/file.php' -- 

1.2 Input passed via the "letter" HTTP GET parameter to "/index.php" script is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Simple PoC code below will create a file in web root with phpinfo() function (if MySQL has enough privileges, and current web user can write into the directory):

http://[host]/index.php?mode=admin&action=user&letter=' UNION SELECT '<? phpcode() ?>' INTO OUTFILE '/var/www/file.php' -- 

Both vulnerabilities require administrative privileges, however can be also exploited via XSRF vector to which the application is also vulnerable.


2) Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in my little forum: CVE-2015-1435

2.1 Input passed via the "back" GET parameter to "/index.php" is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in user to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.

PoC below uses JS "alert()" function to display a pop-up with "ImmuniWeb":

http://[host]/index.php?delete_posting=1&mode=posting&back=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28/ImmuniWeb/%29;%3C/script%3E
