CVE-2020-13381: openSIS 7.4 SQL Injection ≈ Packet Storm

---

openSIS <= 7.4 Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

[-] Software Link:

https://opensis.com/

[-] Affected Versions:

Version 7.4 and prior versions.

[-] Vulnerabilities Description:

The application is affected by multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities,
following are some examples:

1. User input passed through the “api_key” and “api_secret” parameters
   to '/api/SchoolInfo.php’,
   '/api/StaffInfo.php’, and ‘/api/StudentEnrollmentInfo.php’ is not
   properly sanitized before being
   used to construct a SQL query. This can be exploited by unauthenticated
   attackers to e.g. read
   sensitive data from the database through error-based SQL Injection
   attacks.

2. User input passed through the “event_id” parameter to
   ‘/CalendarModal.php’ is not properly
   sanitized before being used to construct a SQL query. This can be
   exploited by remote attackers
   to e.g. read sensitive data from the database through in-band SQL
   Injection attacks.

3. User input passed through the “course_id” parameter to
   ‘/modules/scheduling/MassSchedule.php’
   is not properly sanitized before being used to construct a SQL query.
   This can be exploited by
   remote attackers to e.g. read sensitive data from the database through
   SQL Injection attacks.

4. User input passed through the “student” parameter to
   ‘/modules/attendance/AddAbsences.php’
   is not properly sanitized before being used to construct a SQL query.
   This can be exploited by
   remote attackers to e.g. read sensitive data from the database through
   SQL Injection attacks.

NOTE: certain SQL Injection vulnerabilities in openSIS - like (3) or (4)

• could also be
  abused to execute arbitrary PHP code due to an unsafe use of the
  "eval()" PHP function
  within the "DBGet()" function defined in the ‘/functions/DbGetFnc.php’
  script.

[-] Solution:

Upgrade to version 7.4 to remediate vulnerabilities (1) and (2).
No official solution is currently available for the other
vulnerabilities.
