4) Description of Vulnerability
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in KaiBB, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "forum" parameter to rss.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 requires that
"magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
2) Input appended to the URL after e.g. index.php is not properly
sanitised in inc/header.php before being used in SQL queries. This
can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL
code.
Note: This vulnerability can further be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks via SQL error messages.
