Title: Softbiz Freelancers Script Multiple Vulnerabilities

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Softbiz Freelancers Script is a web-based reverse-auction application for Freelancers websites. It is implemented in PHP.

Since it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data, the application is prone to multiple vulnerabilities:

- An SQL-injection vulnerability presents itself because the application fails to sanitize user input to the 'sb_showresult' parameter of the 'search_form.php' script before using it in an SQL query. This may allow attackers to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

- A cross-site scripting vulnerability issue stems from an input-validation error in the 'errmsg' parameter of the 'signin.php' script. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Affected Products:

  • SoftBiz Freelancers Script 1.0
