SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA16775

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/16775/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
PunBB 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/3700/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in PunBB, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection and script
insertion attacks.

1) Certain unspecified input in the administration interface isn't
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is authenticated as an
administrator or moderator.

2) Input passed to the BBcode "url" tag isn't properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary script
code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed with the
Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.

3) Certain unspecified input passed in a search isn't properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.2.6. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.7.
