Title: Les VanBrunt AdRotate Pro SQL Injection Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
AdRotate Pro is a freeware collection of Perl scripts designed to deliver rotating advertising banners on a web page. It includes administrative tools, and is driven by a MySQL database. It runs on Linux and other systems that support Perl and MySQL.
AdRotate Pro constructs SQL statements including user supplied input. A malicious user may be able to supply input including escape characters such as ' and additional SQL commands, and modify the SQL statement being passed to the database.
Also, database result sets are later used by some scripts as arguments to the Perl open() command. If shell escape characters and commands can be inserted into the database such that they will be used in this context, it may be possible to execute arbitrary shell commands as the web server (generally the user 'nobody').
Affected Products:
- Les VanBrunt AdRotate Pro 2.0.0
