Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in CMSsite 1.0 within the category.php component. The application fails to properly sanitize the 'cat_id' GET parameter before using it in a MySQL query, specifically within the SELECT statement targeting the 'posts' table. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by supplying malicious SQL commands via a UNION-based attack. This allows for the extraction of arbitrary data from the database, including user credentials and system configuration. The vulnerability is confirmed by public exploit code demonstrating the use of UNION SELECT to retrieve database user information.
