evalSMSI Multiple Vulnerabilities

Secunia ID	SA38478
CVE-ID	CVE-2010-0614, CVE-2010-0615, CVE-2010-0616, CVE-2010-0617
Release Date	08 Feb 2010
Last Change	15 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	Partial Fix
Software	evalSMSI 2.x
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. Exposure of sensitive information Vulnerabilities where documents or credentials are leaked or can be revealed either locally or from remote. 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	A weakness and some vulnerabilities have been discovered in evalSMSI, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct SQL injection, cross-site scripting attacks, and disclose sensitive information. 1) Input passed to the "query" parameter in ajax.php (when "action" is set to "question") 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 while writing comments to assess.php (when "action" is set to "continue_assess") 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. 3) Input passed to the "return" parameter in ajax.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 4) The weakness is caused due to the application storing password in the database in clear text. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1.03.
Solution	Vulnerabilities #1 and #3 are fixed in version 2.2.00. Grant only trusted users access to the application.
