http://secunia.com/advisories/25043/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
pnFlashGames 1.x (module for PostNuke) http://secunia.com/product/14092/
DESCRIPTION:
xoron has discovered a vulnerability in the pnFlashGames module for
PostNuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.
Input passed to the “cid” parameter to index.php (when “module” is set
to “pnFlashGames” and “func” to “view”) is not properly sanitised before
being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation allows e.g. retrieving administrator usernames
and password hashes.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.5. Other versions may also
be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
