Title: SurfControl SuperScout WebFilter SQL Injection Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

SurfControl SuperScout WebFilter is web filtering software for Microsoft Windows operating systems. SurfControl SuperScout WebFilter includes a remotely accessible reporting service.

SurfControl SuperScout WebFilter Reports Server is prone to SQL injection attacks. This issue is due to insufficient input validation on the part of some of the reports files, which are implemented as .dlls. Input taken directly from CGI parameters for these files is used to construct SQL queries, and characters that are significant in SQL syntax are not sanitized from the parameters.

As a consequence, remote attackers are able to modify the logic of SQL queries. This may result in database corruption or disclosure of sensitive information. SQL injection attacks may also be used to exploit existing vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Affected Products:

  • SurfControl SuperScout Web Filter for Windows NT/2000 3.0.0
  • SurfControl SuperScout Web Filter for Windows NT/2000 3.0.3
  • SurfControl Web Filter for Windows NT/2000 4.0.0
