Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in SkaLinks, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting 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.
3) Input passed to the "cat" parameter in add_cat.php and add_url.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 version 1.5. Other versions may also be affected.
