Vulnerability Description
Positive Technologies Research Team has discovered the following vulnerabilities in Tribiq CMS:
A) SQL Injection
B) Cross-Site Scripting
C) Database structrure disclosure
A) SQL Injection
SQL injection is an attack technique that can be used to extract, modify, add or delete information from database servers that are used by vulnerable web applications. SQL injection vulnerabilities are caused by an unsecured programming technique that allows client-supplied data to interfere with the syntax of SQL queries. SQL is a programming language that is used by applications to communicate with database systems.
User input passed to certain parameters is not properly sanitized. This can allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
B) Cross-Site Scripting
User input passed to certain parameters is not properly sanitized. This can be exploited to inject malicious code and allows to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Malicious users may inject JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, HTML or Flash into a vulnerable application to fool users in order to gather data from their machines. An attacker can steal the session cookie and take over the account impersonating the user. It is also possible to modify page content presented to the user.
C) Database structrure disclosure
User input passed to certain parameters is not properly sanitized. This allows to call an exception that leads to database structrure disclosure.
Details are not provided.
Solution
Update to latest version.
