VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20936/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Vincent LECLERCQ News 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/10768/
DESCRIPTION:
DarkFig has reported some vulnerabilities in Vincent LECLERCQ News,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed to the "id" and "texte" parameters in divers.php
isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can
be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL
code.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.
2) Input passed to the "id" and "disabled" parameters in divers.php
isn't 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.
It is also possible to disclose the full path to index.php via a
specially crafted POST request.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 5.2. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
