CVE reference:CVE-2008-2891


Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in emuCMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks or to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "cat_id" parameter in 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.

2) An error exists in the configuration of the included FCKEditor application. This can be exploited to upload malicious script files (e.g. a PHP script) via the "admin/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/upload/php/upload.php" script.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of script code depending on the HTTP server configuration (it requires e.g. an Apache server with the "mod_mime" module installed).

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.3. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Restrict access to the "admin/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/upload/php/upload.php" script (e.g. with ".htaccess").
