This advisory is currently marked as unpatched!
- Companies can be alerted when a patch is released!


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.

Provided and/or discovered by:
DarkFig
