MyBB < 1.6.12 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 72906

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version number, the MyBB install hosted on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A cross-site scripting flaw exists in misc.php due to improper validation of input when generating a small popup list of smilies. This allows a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between the browser and server.
CVE-2013-7275)

- A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the mycode_parse_video() function in the inc/class_parser.php script due to improper validation of Yahoo video URLs before returning them to a user.
This allows a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between the browser and server. (CVE-2013-7288)

- A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the admin/modules/config/smilies.php script due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input when mass editing smilies. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate SQL queries, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information and modification of data.

- A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the akismet_admin() function in inc/plugins/akismet.php due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input when deleting posts. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate SQL queries, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information and modification of data.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.6.12 or later.
