Release Date: 2006-12-06

Critical: Moderately critical
Impact: Manipulation of data
Exposure of sensitive information
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Unpatched

Software: iWare Professional 5.x

Description:
Telspace Systems Research Team have discovered a vulnerability in iWare Professional, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "D" parameter in index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation allows retrieval of usernames and password hashes, but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.0.4. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Set "magic_quotes_gpc" in php.ini to On.
