Hosting Controller Multiple Script ForumID Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 22902

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an ASP application that is susceptible to a SQL injection attack.

Description

The installed version of Hosting Controller fails to sanitize input to the 'ForumID' parameter of the 'forum/HCSpecific/EnableForum.asp' script before using it in database queries. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to manipulate database queries to reveal sensitive information, modify data, launch attacks against the underlying database, etc.

In addition, the 'DisableForum.asp' script is also vulnerable.

Solution

Apply the Post Hotfix 3.3 Security Patch.
