Description:
Tim Loshak has reported some vulnerabilities in SocialEngine, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system, and by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and bypass certain security restrictions.
1) Input passed in the "se_user" cookie to include/class_user.php and "se_admin" to include/class_admin.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. logging in as administrator without valid administrator credentials.
2) Input passed as template data is not properly sanitised before being stored in templates. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires valid administrator credentials (but see #1).
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.83.
Solution:
Update to version 2.83.
Provided and/or discovered by:
