Details:  
========  
Multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities are detected in the Classified  
Ads Script PHP 1.1 Content Management System.  
The vulnerability allows an attacker (remote) or local low privileged  
user account to inject/execute own sql commands  
on the affected application dbms without user inter action. The  
vulnerability is located in the admin.php file with the  
bound vulnerable orderType & orderBy parameters. Successful exploitation  
of the vulnerability results in dbms & application compromise.  
  
Vulnerable File(s):  
[+] admin.php  
  
Vulnerable Parameter(s):  
[+] orderType  
[+] orderby  
  
  
Proof of Concept:  
=================  
The SQL Injection vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers  
with privileged user account & without required user inter action.
