Joomla CKForms Component Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38976

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38976/

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the CKForms
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
disclose potentially sensitive information and conduct SQL injection
attacks.

1) Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_ckforms") is not properly sanitised before
being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks
and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

2) Input passed via the "fid" parameter to index.php (when "option"
is set to "com_ckforms", "controller" is set to "ckdata", and
"layout" is set to "detail") is not properly sanitised before being
used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.3.3. Other versions
may also be affected.

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