BlackHawk has reported some vulnerabilities in Inout Mailing List Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, conduct SQL injection attacks, and potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Some vulnerabilities are caused due to using an insecure version of FCKeditor and can be exploited to bypass certain security restrictions and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

For more information:
SA20122

2) Due to an improper authentication method in various files it is possible to gain access to the admin section by setting the "admin" cookie parameter.

3) Input passed to various parameters, e.g. the "id" parameter in changename.php, is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Reportedly, more parameters and files are affected.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.1. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Restrict and grant only trusted users access to the application.
