Executive brief
A vulnerability exists in the itsourcecode Content Management System, a platform used for managing website content. An attacker can exploit this flaw to interfere with the website's database, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information, unauthorized modification of data, or disruption of service. This occurs through the comment submission feature, where malicious commands can be hidden within the 'Name' field.
Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in itsourcecode Content Management System 1.0 within the /save_comment.php file. The root cause is the improper sanitization of the 'Name' POST parameter before it is used in a database query. A remote attacker can exploit this by submitting a specially crafted comment, allowing for time-based blind SQL injection. While some reports suggest authentication is required (PR:L), the original researcher claims no authentication is necessary to reach the vulnerable component. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, and potential system compromise. A public exploit (PoC) using sqlmap has been disclosed.
