TITLE:
Zenoss Core SQL Injection and Cross-Site Request Forgery
Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38195

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38195/

DESCRIPTION:
Adam Baldwin has reported some vulnerabilities in Zenoss Core, which
can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks
and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.

1) Input passed via the "severity", "state", "filter", "offset", and
"count" parameters to /zport/dmd/Events/getJSONEventsInfo is not
properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) The application allows administrative users to perform certain
actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to
verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change
administrator passwords or execute arbitrary shell commands by
tricking an administrative user into visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.5.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.5 or later.
