Description:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has discovered some vulnerabilities in RedCMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection and script insertion attacks.

1) Input passed to the "Email", "Location", and "Website" fields in register.php isn't sanitised before being stored in the member's profile. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected website when a malicious user profile is viewed.

2) Input passed to the "username" parameter in login.php and register.php, and to the "u" parameter in profile.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.

Note: It has also been reported that other parameters are also affected.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.1. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
