Cerberus Helpdesk GUI Agent < 2.7.1 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20348

Synopsis

The remote web server has a PHP application that is affected by multiple SQL injection and cross-site scripting flaws.

Description

The remote host is running Cerberus Helpdesk, a web-based helpdesk suite written in PHP.

The installed version of Cerberus Helpdesk is affected by several SQL injection issues and one cross-site scripting flaw because of its failure to sanitize user-supplied input to various parameters and scripts before using it in database queries and in dynamically- generated HTML. Successful exploitation of these issues requires that an attacker first authenticate.

Solution

Upgrade to Cerberus GUI Agent version 2.7.1 when it becomes available.
