Description:
luny has reported some vulnerabilities in AlstraSoft Web Host (WebHost) Directory, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed to the "uri" parameter in the "search" script isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Example:
http://[host]/webhost/search/?uri=base64([code])
2) Input passed to the "review" form field parameter when posting a review is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
Note: It is also possible to disclose installation path information via invalid input to the "Username" field.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
