TITLE:
MS-Analysis Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA11203

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/11203/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
MS-Analysis 2.x

DESCRIPTION:
Janek Vind has reported some vulnerabilities in MS-Analysis, allowing
malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting and SQL injection
attacks.

1) Several scripts return error messages containing the full
installation path if called directly. This may provide an attacker
with useful information for other attacks.

2) Input passed to various parameters in several scripts isn't
properly verified before it is returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

Examples:
modules.php?name=MS_Analysis&file=index&op=MSAnalysisGeneral&screen=><malicious_code>&overview=1&sortby=
modules/MS_Analysis/title.php?module_name=><malicious_code>
modules.php?name=MS_Analysis&file=index&op=MSAnalysisGeneral&screen=3&overview=1&sortby=><malicious_code>
modules.php?name=MS_Analysis&file=index&op=MSAnalysisGeneral&screen=13&overview=><malicious_code>&sortby=

3) The "referer" header isn't properly validated before it is
inserted to the database. This can potentially be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries or extract data by URL encoding certain
characters in the "referer" field.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
