>> Sphider Multiple Variable SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Sphider, which could be exploited by remote attackers to perform SQL injection and cross site scripting.
The first issue is due to input validation errors in the "templates/standard/search_form.html", "templates/dark/search_form.html", and "search.php" scripts that fail to properly validate the "catid" and "category" 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 "search.php" script that does not validate the "category" parameter, which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
