SiteEnable Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 17970

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an ASP application that is affected by multiple flaws.

Description

The remote host is running a version of the SiteEnable CMS package that has several vulnerabilities :

- SQL Injection Vulnerability Due to a failure to properly sanitize user input to the 'sortby' parameter of the 'content.asp' script, an attacker can execute SQL queries against the underlying database.

- Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities An attacker can pass arbitrary HTML and script code through the 'contenttype' parameter (and likely others) of the 'content.asp' script to be executed in a user's browser in the context of the affected website.
