Simple Machines Forum %lt; 1.1.4 / 1.0.12 SQL Injection

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 4574

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.

Description

The remote host is running the Simple Machines Forum (SMF), a web forum. This version of SMF is vulnerable to a flaw in the way that it handles user-supplied data.

- The 'topic' request parameter is used in a database query without proper sanitation. An attacker exploiting this flaw would be able to execute arbitrary SQL code against the remote database.
- The second issue occurs in the 'preparsecode()' function when posting a message with multiple '[html]' tags.

NOTE: both of these issues require credentials in order to exploit.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.1.4, 1.0.12 or higher.
