CandyPress Store admin/utilities_ConfigHelp.asp helpfield Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 30107

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an ASP script that is susceptible to a SQL injection attack.

Description

The remote host is running CandyPress, a commercial shopping cart script written in ASP.

The version of CandyPress installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'helpfield' parameter of the 'admin/utilities_ConfigHelp.asp' script before using it to perform database queries. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries to disclose sensitive information, bypass authentication, or even attack the underlying database.

Note that this version may also be affected by several other SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and information disclosure vulnerabilities, although Nessus did not explicitly check for them.

Solution

Upgrade to CandyPress version 4.1.1.27 or later.
