IMPACT: Manipulation of data

WHERE: >From remote

SOFTWARE: Virtual War 1.x -- http://secunia.com/product/9014/

DESCRIPTION: r0t has discovered some vulnerabilities in Virtual War, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed to the "s", "showgame", "sortorder", and "sortby" parameters in "war.php" isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.5.0 R14. Other versions may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: r0t
