Description:
ShAnKaR has discovered some vulnerabilities in WoltLab Burning Book, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to certain POST variables in addentry.php is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Since information retrieved from the database is used in an "eval()" call without being sanitised, this can be exploited in combination with the SQL injection to execute arbitrary PHP code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.1e. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
