Title: Admanager Script Injection Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Admanager is banner advertisement management software. It is written in PHP and will run on most Unix and Linux variants, in addition to Microsoft Windows operating systems.

It has been reported that it is possible to inject script code into the URL parameters of the 'add.php3' script. This issue occurs because script code is not filtered from the URL parameters of the script. The attacker may exploit this to cause arbitrary script code to executed in a web user's browser, in the context of the website running Admanager.

This may allow an attacker to hijack web content.

It should be noted that 'add.php3' is a back-end script of the administrative interface of the software and ideally should not be accessible to roaming web users. However, BugTraq ID 4615 "Admanager Content Manipulation Vulnerability" describes an issue related to the lack of authentication for this particular script.

Due to the nature of the 'add.php3' script, attacker-supplied script code may potentially be stored and displayed by the ad management system.

Affected Products:

  • Admanager Admanager 1.1.0
