Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28413)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the "access" parameter of the mc_project_get_users function through the API SOAP. A remote user 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.


2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35849)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. An incorrect access check in bug_revision_view_page.php allows an unprivileged attacker to view the Summary field of private issues, as well as bugnotes revisions, gaining access to potentially confidential information via the bugnote_id parameter.
