Joomla BSQ Sitestats Script Insertion and SQL Injection
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://developer.joomla.org/sf/projects/bsq_sitestats> BSQ Sitestats is
a site stats module that is lightweight on the front end but offers both
tabular and graphical summaries of site visitors' sessions on the
backend". Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in the BSQ
Sitestats component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people
to conduct script insertion or SQL injection attacks.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Joomla BSQ Sitestats version 1.8.0
* Joomla BSQ Sitestats version 2.2.1
Immune Systems:
* Joomla BSQ Sitestats version 2.2.2
1) Input passed via the "HTTP Referer" Header is not properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and
script code, which is executed in an administrative user's browser session
in context of an affected site when the site statistics are viewed.
2) Input passed via the URI string is not properly sanitised before being
used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
