Uiga Business Portal SQL Injection and Script Insertion Vulnerabilities

Secunia ID	SA38430
Release Date	08 Feb 2010
Criticality	Moderately Critical Typically used for remotely exploitable Denial of Service vulnerabilities against services like FTP, HTTP, and SMTP, and for vulnerabilities that allow system compromises but require user interaction. This rating is also used for vulnerabilities allowing system compromise on LANs in services like SMB, RPC, NFS, LPD and similar services that are not intended for use over the Internet.
Solution Status	Unpatched
Software	Uiga Business Portal
Where	From remote "From remote" describes other vulnerabilities where the attack vector doesn't require access to the system or a local network. This category covers services that are acceptable to expose to the Internet (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP). It also covers client applications used on the Internet and certain vulnerabilities where it is reasonable to assume that a security conscious user can be tricked into performing certain actions.
Impact	Cross-Site Scripting Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities allow a third party to manipulate the content or behaviour of a web application in a user's browser, without compromising the underlying system. Different Cross-Site Scripting related vulnerabilities are also classified under this category, including "script insertion" and "cross-site request forgery". Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities are often used against specific users of a website to steal their credentials or to conduct spoofing attacks. Manipulation of data This includes vulnerabilities where a user or a remote attacker can manipulate local data on a system, but not necessarily be able to gain escalated privileges or system access. The most frequent type of vulnerabilities with this impact are SQL-injection vulnerabilities, where a malicious user or person can manipulate SQL queries.
Description	Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Uiga Business Portal, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection and script insertion attacks. 1) Input passed via the "noentryid" parameter to blog/index.php (when "view" is set to "noentryid") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. 2) Input passed via the "p" parameter to index2.php (when "c" is set) is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. 3) Input passed via the "textcomment" parameter to blog/index.php (when "view" is set to "noentryid" and "noentryid" is set) is not properly sanitised before being displayed to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in the version downloaded on February 8th 2010.
Solution	Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
