Multiple vulnerabilities in PHP-Fusion

1) SQL injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU41723

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:P/RL:U/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1803

CWE-ID: CWE-89 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the (1) orderby parameter to downloads.php; or remote authenticated users with certain permissions to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a (2) parameter name starting with "delete_attach_" in an edit action to forum/postedit.php; the (3) poll_opts[] parameter in a newthread action to forum/postnewthread.php; the (4) pm_email_notify, (5) pm_save_sent, (6) pm_inbox, (7) pm_sentbox, or (8) pm_savebox parameter to administration/settings_messages.php; the (9) thumb_compression, (10) photo_watermark_text_color1, (11) photo_watermark_text_color2, or (12) photo_watermark_text_color3 parameter to administration/settings_photo.php; the (13) enable parameter to administration/bbcodes.php; the (14) news_image, (15) news_image_t1, or (16) news_image_t2 parameter to administration/news.php; the (17) news_id parameter in an edit action to administration/news.php; or the (18) article_id parameter in an edit action to administration/articles.php. NOTE: the user ID cookie issue in Authenticate.class.php is already covered by CVE-2013-7375. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.

Mitigation

Cybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.

2) Path traversal

EUVDB-ID: #VU41734

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1806

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in PHP-Fusion before 7.02.06 allow remote authenticated users to include and execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) user_theme parameter to maincore.php; or remote authenticated administrators to delete arbitrary files via the (2) enable parameter to administration/user_fields.php or (3) file parameter to administration/db_backup.php.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU41735

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1807

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

PHP-Fusion before 7.02.06 stores backup files with predictable filenames in an unrestricted directory under the web document root, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to the backup file in administration/db_backups/.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:U/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1804

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in PHP-Fusion before 7.02.06 when processing the (2) user_list or (3) user_types parameter to messages.php; (4) message parameter to infusions/shoutbox_panel/shoutbox_admin.php; (5) message parameter to administration/news.php; (6) panel_list parameter to administration/panel_editor.php; (7) HTTP User Agent string to administration/phpinfo.php; (8) . A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.
