Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in SkaLinks, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery and SQL injection attacks.

1) The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g. add new administrator users.

2) Input passed via the "adminname" and "pwd" cookie parameters to the "IsAdmin()" function in SkaLinks_include/SkaLinks.class.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Vulnerability #2 can be exploited to bypass the authentication mechanism.

These vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.5. Other versions may also be affected.
