Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in AWCM, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, conduct SQL injection, and cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "a" parameter in a.php is not properly sanitised before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL-bytes.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

2) Input passed to the "email" parameter in login.php and to the "username" POST parameter in control/login.php (when the "do" parameter is set) 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 requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

3) Input passed via the "w" parameter to includes/avatar.php and the "d1" parameter to blocks/data/aljazeera_marquee.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.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may also be affected.

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