Report-Timeline:
================
2012-06-11:	Public or Non-Public Disclosure


Status:
========
Published


Exploitation-Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity:
=========
High


Details:
========
1.1
Multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities  are detected in the GuestBook Scripts PHP 1.5 Content Management System.
The vulnerability allows an attacker (remote) or local low privileged user account to inject/execute own sql 
commands on the affected application dbms without user inter action. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability 
results in dbms & application compromise. The vulnerabilities are located in the guestbook.php or admin.php files 
and the bound parameters p, orderType & orderBy. The sql injection vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without user 
inter action & without privileged user account. 

Vulnerable File(s):
			[+] guestbook.php
			[+] admin.php


Vulnerable Parameter(s):
			[+] orderType
			[+] p
			[+] orderBy



1.2
Multiple non persistent cross site scripting vulnerabilities are detected in the GuestBook Scripts PHP 1.5 Content Management System.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to hijack website customer, moderator or admin sessions with high required user inter action 
or local low privileged user account. The vulnerabilities are located in the admin.php file with the bound vulnerable search, p & 
ordertype parameters. Successful exploitation can result in account steal, phishing & client-side content request manipulation.

Vulnerable File(s):
			[+] admin.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
			[+] search
			[+] p
			[+] orderType


Proof of Concept:
=================
1.1
The SQL Injection vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with and without privileged user account.
User inter action is not required for exploitation. For demonstration or reproduce ...

http://127.0.0.1:80/cms/guestbook.php?p=[SQL-INJECTION]
http://127.0.0.1:80/cms/guestbook/admin.php?act=comments&orderType=[ASC/DESC]&search=&orderBy=[SQL-INJECTION]
http://127.0.0.1:80/cms/guestbook/admin.php?act=comments&orderType=[SQL-INJECTION]

1.2
The persistent vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged user account & with low 
required user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ...

http://127.0.0.1:80/cms/guestbook/admin.php?act=comments&orderType=[ASC/DESC]&search=&orderBy=[CROSS SITE SCrIPTING]
http://127.0.0.1:80/cms/guestbook/admin.php?act=comments&orderType=[ASC/DESC]&search=[CROSS SITE SCrIPTING]
http://127.0.0.1:80/cms/guestbook/admin.php?act=comments&orderType=[CROSS SITE SCrIPTING]


Risk:
=====
1.1
The security risk of the sql injection vulnerabilities are estimated as high.

1.2
The security risk of the input validation vulnerabilities are estiamted as low(+)
