Cerberus Support Center Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS)
high Nessus Plugin ID 20347
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server has a PHP application that is affected by SQL injection and cross-site scripting flaws.Description
The remote host is running Cerberus Support Center, a customer support portal written in PHP.The installed version of Cerberus Support Center is affected by a cross-site scripting flaw due to its failure to sanitize input to the 'kb_ask' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it in dynamically-generated web pages. In addition, it reportedly fails to sanitize input to the 'file_id' parameter of the 'attachment_send.php' script before using it in database queries.
Exploitation of the SQL injection vulnerability requires that an attacker first authenticate while the cross-site scripting issue may be possible without authentication, depending on the application's configuration.
Solution
Upgrade to Cerberus Support Center 3.2.0pr2 and edit 'attachment_send.php' as described in the forum post referenced above. Note that this does not, though, fix the cross-site scripting issue.See Also
