Description:
AmnPardaz Security Research Team have reported some vulnerabilities in Academic Web Tools (AWT YEKTA), which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "book_id" parameter in rating.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 "Fake" parameter in login.php and "glb_sid" in hta/htmlarea.js.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 "file" parameter in rss_getfile.php is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited via malicious URLs to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 1.4.3.1 and 1.4.2.8. Other versions may also be affected.
