RedTeam Pentesting has reported some vulnerabilities in Mapbender, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to various parameters in various files (e.g. "gaz" parameter in http/php/mod_gazetteer_edit.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 to the "factor" parameter in tools/mapFiler.php is not properly sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by passing specially crafted values to the affected script.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.4.4. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Reportedly fixed in version 2.4.5 rc1
