Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1803)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the (1) orderby parameter to downloads.php; or remote authenticated users with certain permissions to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a (2) parameter name starting with "delete_attach_" in an edit action to forum/postedit.php; the (3) poll_opts[] parameter in a newthread action to forum/postnewthread.php; the (4) pm_email_notify, (5) pm_save_sent, (6) pm_inbox, (7) pm_sentbox, or (8) pm_savebox parameter to administration/settings_messages.php; the (9) thumb_compression, (10) photo_watermark_text_color1, (11) photo_watermark_text_color2, or (12) photo_watermark_text_color3 parameter to administration/settings_photo.php; the (13) enable parameter to administration/bbcodes.php; the (14) news_image, (15) news_image_t1, or (16) news_image_t2 parameter to administration/news.php; the (17) news_id parameter in an edit action to administration/news.php; or the (18) article_id parameter in an edit action to administration/articles.php. NOTE: the user ID cookie issue in Authenticate.class.php is already covered by CVE-2013-7375. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.

2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1806)

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in PHP-Fusion before 7.02.06 allow remote authenticated users to include and execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) user_theme parameter to maincore.php; or remote authenticated administrators to delete arbitrary files via the (2) enable parameter to administration/user_fields.php or (3) file parameter to administration/db_backup.php.

3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1807)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

PHP-Fusion before 7.02.06 stores backup files with predictable filenames in an unrestricted directory under the web document root, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to the backup file in administration/db_backups/.

4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1804)

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in PHP-Fusion before 7.02.06 when processing the (2) user_list or (3) user_types parameter to messages.php; (4) message parameter to infusions/shoutbox_panel/shoutbox_admin.php; (5) message parameter to administration/news.php; (6) panel_list parameter to administration/panel_editor.php; (7) HTTP User Agent string to administration/phpinfo.php; (8) . A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
