Details

Product: ConPresso CMS
Affected Version: <=4.0.4a 
Immune Version: 4.0.5a
Security-Risk: moderated
Remote-Exploit: yes
Vendor-URL: http://www.conpresso.com/

Original Advisory:
============
http://www.majorsecurity.de/index_2.php?major_rls=major_rls28

Introduction
============
ConPresso CMS is a well known content management system.

More Details
============
XSS:
Input passed directly to the "nr" parameter in "detail.php", the "msg" parameter in \
"db_mysql.inc.php" and the "pos" parameter in "index.php" is not properly sanitised \
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML \
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

SQL injection:
Input passed directly to the "nr" parameter in "index.php" is not properly sanitised \
before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by \
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Fix
===
Upgrade to newest version(4.0.5a)

Solution
=============
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
You should work with "htmlspecialchars()" or "htmlentities()" php-function to ensure \
that html tags are not going to be executed. You should also work with the  \
"mysql_real_escape_string()" or "addslashes()" php-function to ensure that sql \
statements can't be delivered over the "get" variables. Further it is recommend to \
set off the "register globals" option in the "php.ini" on your webserver.

Example:
<?php
  $pass = htmlentities($_POST['pass']);
  $test = htmlspecialchars($_GET('test'));
  $id = intval($_POST['id']);
?>
