CVE-2005-1804


Description:
NoSP and Romano has reported some vulnerabilities in NPDS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting, script insertion and SQL injection attacks.

1) Some input isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

Examples:
http://[host]/npds/admin.php?mainfile=e&language=[code]
http://[host]/npds/powerpack_f.php?language=[code]
http://[host]/npds/sdv_infos.php?sitename=[code]
http://[host]/modules.php?ModPath=glossaire&ModStart=glossaire&op=rech_lettre&lettre=[code]
http://[host]/reviews.php?op=postcomment&id=1&title=[code]

2) Input passed to the "image_subject" parameter in "reply.php" is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.

3) Input passed to the "terme" parameter in "modules.php" and the "query" parameter in "links.php" isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 5.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Apply patch.
