Technical Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Interact, which could be exploited by remote attackers to disclose sensitive information, or perform SQL injection and cross site scripting.

The first issue is due to input validation errors in the "search.php" and "userinput.php" scripts that fail to properly validate the "search_terms", "first_name", "last_name", "email", "password" and "confirm_password" parameters, which could be exploited by attackers to cause malicious scripting code to be executed by the user's browser.

The second flaw is due to an input validation error in the "login.php" script when handling the "user_name" variable, which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The third issue is due to an error in the "login.php" script that generates different error messages depending on whether or not a valid username exists, which could be exploited by remote attackers to determine valid usernames.
