CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
MAXSITE 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/18815/

DESCRIPTION:
Tesz has reported a vulnerability in MAXSITE, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "category" parameter in index.php (when "name" is
set to "webboard") 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 e.g. retrieving administrator
usernames and password hashes.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.10. Other versions may
also be affected.

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