Title: Minimal ABlog SQL Injection and Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Minimal ABlog is a web-log application; it is implemented in PHP.

Since it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data, the application is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities:

1. An SQL-injection vulnerability affects the 'id' parameter of the 'index.php' script.

2. An arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability occurs because the application fails to restrict users from uploading arbitrary files onto the webserver through the 'admin/updater.php' script. Specifically, the application fails to check for admin privileges before allowing an attacker to access the script.

Exploiting these issues could allow attackers to compromise the application, execute arbitrary code, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Minimal ABlog 0.4 is affected.

Affected Products:

  • Minimal ABlog Minimal ABlog 0.4
