4) Description of Vulnerability
Secunia Research has discovered six vulnerabilities in Achievo, which
can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "viewstart" and "viewend" parameters to
graph.php (when "atknodetype" is set to "project.project", "plotter"
is set to "graph.dataGraphAttribute", "callback" is set to "timeline",
and "projectid" is set) is not properly sanitised before being used in
SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.
2) Input passed via the "atkselector" parameter to dispatch.php (when
e.g. "atknodetype" is set to "project.project" and "atkaction" is set
to "view") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary
SQL code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "Access"
permissions for "Project" under "Project management"
3) Input passed via the "viewuser" parameter to dispatch.php (when
"atknodetype" is set to "timereg.hours" and "atkaction" is set to
"admin") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary
SQL code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "Access"
permission for "Hours" under "Time registration".
4) Input passed via the "startdate" and "enddate" parameters to
dispatch.php (when "atknodetype" is set to "reports.hoursurvey" and
"atkaction" is set to "report") is not properly sanitised before being
used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "Access"
permissions for "Time Survey" under "Reports".
