	Vulnerability

Adobe RoboHelp Server SQL Injection Vulnerability
Assurent ID: FSC20080708-10

1. Affected Software

   Adobe RoboHelp Server, version 6
   Adobe RoboHelp Server, version 7

   Reference: http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelpserver/


2. Vulnerability Summary

   There exists an SQL injection vulnerability in Adobe RoboHelp Server that allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary SQL 
   statements. The SQL would run against the RoboHelp back-end database within the security context of the application's database 
   connection.


3. Vulnerability Analysis

   The vulnerability can be exploited two ways:

   1) A remote authenticated attacker may trigger this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the target server. 

   2) A remote unauthenticated attacker can entice an authenticated user to execute an attack using cross-site scripting techniques.

   Assurent has confirmed that execution of arbitrary SQL statements is possible. The SQL in such a case would execute within the 
   security context of the application's database connection.


4. Vulnerability Detection

   Assurent has confirmed the vulnerability in Adobe RoboHelp Server versions 6 and 7.


5. Workaround

   Apply the vendor patch or block communication from untrusted networks to ports 80/TCP and 443/TCP on affected assets.
