Vulnerabilities

SQL Injection vulnerability in Exponent-CMS v.2.6.0 fixed in 2.7.0 allows attackers to gain access to sensitive information via the selectValue function in the expConfig class.

Exponent CMS 2.6.0patch2 allows an authenticated admin user to upload a malicious extension in the format of a ZIP file with a PHP file inside it. After upload it, the PHP file will be placed at "themes/simpletheme/{rce}.php" from where can be accessed in order to execute commands.

A HTTP Host header attack exists in ExponentCMS 2.6 and below in /exponent_constants.php. A modified HTTP header can change links on the webpage to an arbitrary value, leading to a possible attack vector for MITM.

Exponent CMS before 2.6.0 has improper input validation in fileController.php.

Exponent CMS version 2.3.9 suffers from a Object Injection vulnerability in framework/modules/core/controllers/expTagController.php related to change_tags.

Exponent CMS version 2.3.9 suffers from a Object Injection vulnerability in framework/modules/core/controllers/expCatController.php related to change_cats.

Exponent CMS 2.3.0 through 2.3.9 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to "uploading files to wrong location."

In Exponent CMS before 2.4.1 Patch #6, certain admin users can elevate their privileges.

In Exponent CMS before 2.4.1 Patch #5, XSS in elFinder is possible in framework/modules/file/connector/elfinder.php.

Exponent CMS 2.4.1 and earlier has SQL injection via a base64 serialized API key (apikey parameter) in the api function of framework/modules/eaas/controllers/eaasController.php.

SQL injection vulnerability in the activate_address function in framework/modules/addressbook/controllers/addressController.php in Exponent CMS 2.3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the is_what parameter.

install/index.php in Exponent CMS 2.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the sc array parameter.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Exponent CMS before 2.4.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) id parameter in an activate_address address controller action, (2) title parameter in a show blog controller action, or (3) content_id parameter in a showComments expComment controller action.

An issue was discovered in Exponent CMS 2.4.1. This is a blind SQL injection that can be exploited by un-authenticated users via an HTTP GET request and which can be used to dump database data out to a malicious server, using an out-of-band technique, such as select_loadfile(). The vulnerability affects source_selector.php and the following parameter: src.

Exponent CMS 2.x before 2.3.7 Patch 3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the sc parameter to install/index.php.

Exponent CMS 2.3.9 suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability in /install/index.php. An attacker can upload an evil 'exploit.tar.gz' file to the website, then extract it by visiting '/install/index.php?install_sample=../../files/exploit', which leads to arbitrary code execution.

In framework/modules/core/controllers/expCommentController.php of Exponent CMS 2.4.0, content_id input is passed into showComments. The method showComments is defined in the expCommentControllercontroller with the parameter '$this->params['content_id']' used directly in SQL. Impact is a SQL injection.

In /framework/modules/notfound/controllers/notfoundController.php of Exponent CMS 2.4.0 patch1, untrusted input is passed into getSearchResults. The method getSearchResults is defined in the search model with the parameter '$term' used directly in SQL. Impact is a SQL injection.

In framework/modules/navigation/controllers/navigationController.php in Exponent CMS v2.4.0 or older, the parameter "target" of function "DragnDropReRank" is directly used without any filtration which caused SQL injection. The payload can be used like this: /navigation/DragnDropReRank/target/1.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the update method in framework/modules/core/controllers/expRatingController.php in Exponent CMS 2.4.0 allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) content_type or (2) subtype parameter.

In /framework/modules/ecommerce/controllers/orderController.php of Exponent CMS 2.4.0, untrusted input is passed into selectObjectsBySql. The method selectObjectsBySql of class mysqli_database uses the injectProof method to prevent SQL injection, but this filter can be bypassed easily: it only sanitizes user input if there are odd numbers of ' or " characters. Impact is Information Disclosure.

The Pixidou Image Editor in Exponent CMS prior to v2.3.9 patch 2 could be used to perform an fid SQL Injection.
