Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Article Dashboard, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "id" parameter in article.php (when "act" is set to "print") is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

2) Input passed to multiple form field parameters (e.g. "f_emailaddress", "f_reemailaddress") in signup.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in the version downloaded 2007-07-25. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Enable "magic_quotes_gpc" and filter malicious characters and character sequences in a web proxy.
