Title: CMScout Local File Include and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
CMScout is a PHP-based content manager.
The application is prone to these input-validation vulnerabilities:
1. Multiple local file-include vulnerabilities affect the 'bit' parameter of the 'admin.php' and 'index.php' scripts.
2. An SQL-injection vulnerability affects the 'id' parameter of the 'index.php' script. Note that the attacker must have authenticated access to the affected application.
The attacker can exploit the local file-include vulnerabilities using directory-traversal strings to view and execute arbitrary local files within the context of the webserver process. Information harvested may aid in further attacks.
The attacker can exploit the SQL-injection vulnerability to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
CMScout 2.06 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- CMScout CMScout 2.06
