XSS and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in OrderSys

Information

Name : XSS and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in OrderSys
Software : OrderSys 1.6.4 and possibly below.
Vendor Homepage : http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/labwiki/index.php
Vulnerability Type : Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection
Severity : Critical
Researcher : Canberk Bolat
Advisory Reference : NS-12-007

Description

The OrderSys system was originally developed at an academic research
laboratory to simplify the filling of order forms that could be
printed for handing over to a departmental office which processed the
orders. The details for items and vendors, and order histories, could
be stored in tables of a MySQL database, thereby saving time and
effort of looking up catalog numbers, price, etc., budgeting, order
follow ups, and preventing unnecessary ordering as well as
illegibilities inherent to handwritten ordering. The system can be
easily used for other purposes.

Details

OrderSys is affected by XSS and SQL Injection vulnerabilities in version 1.6.4.

Example PoC urls are as follows :
