Description:
Khashayar Fereidani has discovered two vulnerabilities in EasyPublish, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed to the "read" parameter in staticpages/easypublish/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.
2) Input passed to the "read" parameter in staticpages/easypublish/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 of this vulnerability allows e.g. retrieval of administrator usernames and passwords.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.0 trial edition. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Provided and/or discovered by:
