Title: MercuryBoard Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
MercuryBoard is a typical Web based message board application designed in PHP with an SQL database back end. It is freely available for all platforms that support PHP.
Multiple input validation vulnerabilities affect MercuryBoard. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to using it in critical functionality.
Multiple cross-site scripting issues affect MercuryBoard. These issues affect the 'l', 's', 't', 'to', and 're' parameters of the 'index.php' script.
An SQL injection vulnerability affects MercuryBoard as well. This issue affects the 't' parameter of the 'index.php' script.
An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code in the browser of an unsuspecting user and manipulate SQL queries against the underlying database. This may facilitate the theft of authentication credentials, destruction of data, and other attacks.
Affected Products:
- MercuryBoard Message Board 1.1.0
- MercuryBoard Message Board 1.1.1
