DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in AContent, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks
and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery and SQL
injection attacks.

1) Input passed via the "copyright" POST parameter to
home/course/course_property.php is not properly sanitised before
being stored and returned to the user. This can be exploited to
insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without properly verifying the results. This can be
exploited to e.g. add new administrative users, by tricking a
logged-in administrative user into visiting a malicious web site.

NOTE: Vulnerabilities #1 and #2 can be used in conjunction.

3) Input passed via the "search_text" parameter to home/search.php is
not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

NOTE: This can further be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks via SQL error messages.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
"magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse malicious websites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1, 2) HTBridge
3) Reported as cross-site scripting vulnerability by HTBridge.
