DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Pligg CMS, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks and
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection
attacks.
1) Input passed to the "user" and "page" parameters in
admin/admin_comments.php and admin/admin_links.php is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.
2) Input passed to the "list" parameter in admin/admin_index.php
(when "action" is set to "move" or "minimize") is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.
3) Input passed to the "karma_username" POST parameter in module.php
(when "module" is set to "karma" , "submit" is set to "Submit", and
"karma_value" is set) is not properly sanitised in
modules/karma/karma_main.php before being returned to the user. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site.
4) Input passed via the "list" parameter to admin/admin_index.php
(when "id" and "top" are set and "action" is set to "move") is not
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
5) Input passed via the "display" parameter to admin/admin_index.php
(when "id" is set and "action" is set to "minimize") is not properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
6) Input passed via the "enabled[]" POST parameter to
admin/admin_users.php is not properly sanitised before being used in
a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #4 through #6 requires
"admin" privileges.
7) Input passed via the "msg_id" parameter to module.php (when
"module" is set to "simple_messaging" and "view" is set to "delmsg",
"reply", "viewsentmsg", or "viewmsg") is not properly sanitised
before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
8) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.2.1. Prior versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.2.
