Description: DarkFig has discovered some vulnerabilities in Connectix Boards, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks or compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Certain input when updating the signature is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation allows to e.g. gain administrator privileges, but requires a valid user account.
2) The application does not properly verify uploaded smileys. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious file.
Successful exploitation requires administrator privileges (which can be gained by exploiting vulnerability #1).
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.7. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly filtered and uploaded files are properly verified.
