  Alabanza AlaCart SQL Injection Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

AlaCart a web based shopping cart engine, by <http://alabanza.com/>
Alabanza a company specialized in web hosting automation, allows a remote
attacker to insert malicious SQL code into the authentication process,
allowing them to bypass it and gain administrative privileges to the
product.

DETAILS

Vulnerable systems:
 * AlaCart version 1.0 (Released on 18 Feb 1999)

When accessing the directory /admin/ a user is required to enter a
username and password, by supplying the following username and password
combination:
'or''='

It is possible to bypass the authentication mechanism.

Vendor status:
We (SecurITeam) tried contacting the vendor, which was hard to locate, and
haven't received a response. We tried again using the web forms, but
haven't received an answer as well. Note that is product version was last
released in 1999, it is unclear whether this is abandon-ware or an active
product (Alabanza's web site doesn't contain a link to the product).
