CVE reference:CVE-2008-0359
CVE-2008-0360


Description:
Digital Security Research Group has reported some vulnerabilities in BLOG:CMS, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the parameter "blogid" in index.php and to the "user" parameter in action.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed via the URL to photo/admin.php and photo/index.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.

3) Input passed to the "title" parameter in admin/plugins/table/index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires administrator credentials.

Note: Some of the SQL injection vulnerabilities may also be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 4.2.1b. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 4.2.1c.
