PHP-Fusion <= 6.00.106 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19311

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of PHP-Fusion that suffers from multiple vulnerabilities :

- SQL Injection Vulnerability The application fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'msg_view' parameter of the 'messages.php' script before using it in database queries. Exploitation requires that an attacker first authenticate and that PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' be disabled.

- HTML Injection Vulnerability An attacker can inject malicious CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) codes through [color] tags, thereby affecting how the site is rendered whenever users view specially crafted posts.

Solution

Upgrade to PHP-Fusion 6.00.107 or later or apply the patches in the vendor's advisories referenced above.
