CVE-2008-1859


Description:
t0pP8uZz has reported two vulnerabilities in iScripts SocialWare, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system, and by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "id" parameter in events.php (when "action" is set to "show") 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 of this vulnerability allows e.g. retrieving administrator usernames and passwords.

2) The Manage Settings functionality fails to validate the extension of an uploaded file. This can be exploited to upload files as logos with ".php" extensions, which can further be used to execute arbitrary PHP code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires valid administrator credentials.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Apply the vendor's official patch:
http://www.iscripts.com/socialware/patch1.0.zip

Upgrade to version 2.0.
